At Rock Bay,
there is a prominent rock point in the middle of the
bay. The top of this rock was used for a gun
emplacement during WW2. You can still see where the
top was levelled and filled with asphalt.
On the front slope at the top is a petroglyph of a
face. Somebody has painted the grove with black
paint which is the wrong way of making them stand
out for photographs as it permanently defaces this
artefact. The best way to do this is to sprinkle
flour into the groves and lightly brush off the
excess with a whisk.
On the south side of the hill are some Pictographs.
This site is best visited by land. North of
Campbell River on Hwy. 19 is the Rock Bay Road. Drive to the end and walk through the private
campground to the rock hill.
