Also located on Vargas Island, on its north side, is Epper Passage Provincial Park.

[2] This island is home to the mammalian species of black bear, cougar, and wolf.

[3] For both human safety and the future of the wolf population in Clayoquot Sound, food must be stored out of reach of wildlife and animals must not be approached or fed by visitors.

The island is apparently named for Diego de Vargas, who regained New Mexico for Spain in 1693–94.
