Enjoy the Natural Surroundings

---

A nice 3-4km long loop around the river, passing beside a campground and a salmon hatchery. In autumn you can watch the salmon spawning.

A good place for wildlife viewing.  Bald eagles catching fish can be seen especially when the salmon are spawning.

 The Fort Rupert Trail is a nice and easy 7,4km hike near Port Hardy that will  allow you to explore the natural beauty of the West Coast temperate  rainforest. The Trailhead is found on the road to the ferry terminal on the right side.  

 In Port Hardy you will find all the necessary shops, services and restaurants. Also medical care is guaranteed.

 Marble River Park on northern Vancouver Island offers excellent  opportunities for wilderness hiking, biking, wildlife viewing and  fishing. 

You can take the ferry from Port McNeill to Malcolm Island and visit there the Bere Point Provincial Park with wonderful views of the sea and the coastal mountains.
