Naikoon Park is on Haida Gwaii, with Highway 16 passing near the south and west boundaries and access points at Tlell, Mayer Lake, and northeast of Masset. BC Parks says there is no developed access to the interior, and park headquarters are south of the Tlell River bridge.
The park is traditional territory of the Haida Nation and contains cultural and spiritual places, historic village sites, and food-gathering sites.
Naikoon is a remote wilderness park of beaches, dunes, bogs, old-growth forest, lakes, rivers, and Haida cultural history. Trails range from the Tow Hill and Blow Hole boardwalk to the 10-kilometre one-way Cape Fife Trail and the 90-kilometre East Beach multi-day hike.
BC Parks also highlights the Pesuta Shipwreck Trail, White Creek Trail, Misty Meadows loop, Mayer Lake canoeing, Pure Lake swimming, Tlell River fishing, birdwatching at Tow Hill and Rose Spit, and dune and bog plant communities. Naikoon takes its name from Nee Kun, meaning "House Point."
Hike beaches and forest trails, camp at Agate Beach or Misty Meadows, canoe Mayer Lake, fish the Tlell River and other waters with a licence, swim at Pure Lake, birdwatch, bike beaches where permitted, windsurf, hunt during open seasons, and learn Haida cultural context.
Carry maps, wet-weather gear, and outdoor-living supplies. Beaches and river mouths can have undertows, tides can isolate sand bars, and weather can turn wet, windy, or foggy at any time. ATV and 4x4 use is tightly limited to designated beach areas, e-bikes are not allowed on trails, and potable water is limited.
