Paddle

Explore Bedwell waterways by single or double kayak or canoe, but don't be surprised if a curious seal or otter plays along. The intertidal environment of the estuary setting changes by the moment, attracting all manner of wild things, marine creatures and discovery.

At high tide, a large backwater north of the Outpost fills with a brackish fresh and salt water mix that supports a unique marsh-like eco-system.

This mini marine park, complete with reverse-rapids and riverlets is one of the best areas to view blue herons, birds of prey and black bear feeding in the technicolour shallows.

And there is always the river, with its gentle push of clear glacier water - to explore in part or great detail. River kayaks pull easily up on sandbars when it is time for lunch or a snack.
