Indian River Estuary

Click on a Destination to learn more about it

Indian River Estuary

Distance from Deep Cove: 20 km
Paddling Time One Way: Fast: 3 hrs. Avg: 4 hr. Leisurely: 6 hr.
Suggested Route: The west shore of Indian Arm makes for the most direct and scenic route. Take the eastern channel between Croker Island and the mainland. It is best to go to Indian River Estuary as a day trip from your campsite at Bishop Creek or Granite Falls. It is great to time your visit when high tide is covering the mud flats.
Hazards:
  • Currents in the river mouth
  • Being stuck high and dry in the middle of the mud-flats
Nature: There are many seals that like to hang out here, basking on the many logs in this area. There are lots of birds in this area. A chum salmon run late in October attracts lots of eagles.
