Guest normally arrive at the Lodge from Campbell River between three and four o’clock. Once rooms have been sorted out, guests settled in, snacks on the front deck and Angus’s talk about the lodge and your visit’s itinerary it is time for the first tour. The first evening is a trip in the local waters looking for black bears, bald eagles, seals and even on occasion a grizzly bear. The trip is an hour plus depending on what is found and is used to familiarize you with the boats and guides.
Grizzly Bears under the Viewing Platform
Grizzly Bear Lodge has the right to use a viewing platform on the Knight Inlet’s Glendale River after August 24th. This is a large, raised; covered stand that overlooks the natural river as well as the entrance to the man made spawning channel. This grizzly bear is on the causeway approaching the platform and is approximately five meters (yards) from of the platform. Grizzly bears frequently pass by and beneath the stand when moving from the river into the spawning channel entrance.
