The Fairy Lake Bonsai Tree in Port Renfrew, Vancouver Island is a quirky and unique sight that draws in visitors exploring the island.

It is an island icon and is one of the most photographed trees in the world!

This tiny Douglas Fir tree (which looks like a bonsai) growing on a submerged log near the lake's edge is a hidden gem that can be easily missed if you're not looking out for it. It sits right in Fairy Lake which you will see from the road when driving into Port Renfrew on Pacific Marine Rd.

With its tranquil surroundings and off-the-beaten-path location, it's a cool spot to check out if you're in the area and want to experience something different on your Vancouver Island adventure.
