Moksgmol/Chapple-Cornwall Conservancy is on the northwest side of Princess Royal Island, about 35 kilometres south of Hartley Bay and 105 kilometres southwest of Kitimat. BC Parks says access is by boat, floatplane, or helicopter.
The conservancy connects to Kitasoo Spirit Bear Conservancy and protects habitat for Kermode bears, also known as spirit bears.
This conservancy protects old-growth forests, rare karst forest ecosystems, small lakes, wetlands, streams, salmon spawning habitat, and cultural sites. BC Parks highlights Emily Carr Inlet and Sager Islets for high biodiversity values, rare plants, caves, karst topography, and exceptionally productive forest influenced by marble and limestone.
Recreation is remote and marine-focused. The official page lists floating lodges, fishing, heli-hiking, bear viewing, safe boat anchorages, paddling, scuba diving, snorkelling, and wildlife viewing. Wildlife may include black bears, wolves, waterfowl, eagles, spawning salmon, deer, humpback whales, killer whales, Dall's porpoises, Pacific white-sided dolphins, sea lions, and harbour seals.
Explore by boat, floatplane, or helicopter, paddle inlets and bays if experienced, fish for trout, char, or salmon with the proper licence, watch wildlife, scuba dive or snorkel, use safe anchorages, and hunt where open and permitted.
There are no maintained trails and only a few old overgrown logging roads. Be bear aware on shore, respect cultural and archaeological sites, note black bear hunting closures near Whalen Creek Estuary, and carry charts and marine safety gear. Weather, tides, and remote access should shape every landing, anchoring, and paddling decision. Expect solitude.
