Many people come to unplug and recharge and they like to be left alone. Others have a ton of questions about restoring the longest consecutively operated salmon cannery on the West Coast! This area was known as Cannery Row. In the mid 1800s, salmon canneries were springing up on BC's West Coast and Inverness Passage on the North Coast is right at the mouth of the Skeena River. The fishing industry went from boom to bust and now only a few canneries remain and only three accessible by car. The Cassiar Cannery and our neighbour, North Pacific Cannery Museum - a National Historic Site. This is a beautiful 3.5km walk up a water view, tree lined quiet road. Port Edward also has the best marina on the North Coast only a 10 minute drive up the road. It is protected, safe, secure and has a double boat launch. The North Coast is blessed with some of the most remarkable scenery in the world. Towering mountains with jagged snow topped peaks, sparkling big rivers and rushing tributaries and all the might of the Pacific Ocean all meet here. The wildlife viewing is phenomenal and almost reliable with consistent grizzly and whale sightings on tours, fantastic sport fishing for five salmon species and halibut, eagles, birds, wolves and more. There is a great spirit in the North and it's a great place to road trip with jaw-dropping scenery and light traffic! We are 30 scenic minutes from Prince Rupert, with no traffic lights and little traffic, which has some fabulous restaurants and is a good place for supplies.
