Pacific Rim National Park Reserve
Radar Hill

Radar Hill is an easy access lookout point enjoying far reaching views. It is located in the middle of the Pacific Rim National Park near the communities of Tofino and Ucluelet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.

The lookout point is a family friendly destination with viewing platforms overlooking the entire region. From various viewpoints located on the hill one can see the park, Clayoquot Sound, Tofino Inlet and as far as Meares Island.

Radar Hill is only accessed via a paved road. At the end of the road is a large parking lot. From the parking lot there is a short, wheel chair friendly boardwalk walking trail leading out to a viewing platform. From the parking lot viewing deck one can look out over Clayoquot Sound.

On the other side of the parking lot is a west facing viewing platform located at the end of a dirt path. There is also some interpretive signs and a memorial. The Kap'Yong Memorial honours the memory of the 2nd Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry which served during the Korean War.

The hill was initially slated to be the location of a radar installation during the Second World War. There is still evidence of a tower on the hill.

All visitors to the park must have a Park Use Permit. Pack out what you pack in.
