Knight Inlet Lodge, Great Bear Rainforest, British Columbia, Canada, USA
Knight Inlet Lodge, Great Bear Rainforest
In 1979, Blair McLean towed his floating fishing lodge from its former home in Hoeya Sound to the quiet and protected inlet of Glendale Cove. Nearly 40 years later, the lodge has established itself as one of the world’s top wilderness outposts. Surrounded by sedge, the spring snack of choice for hungry grizzlies coming out of hibernation, and with exclusive access to one of Knight Inlet's most prolific salmon-spawning channels, the lodge offers unrivalled grizzly bear-viewing experiences between May and October.
Highlights
Sleep
Accommodation at Knight Inlet Lodge is simple yet very comfortable. As the lodge is entirely floating, each of the 20 en suite guest rooms are over water, sleeping up to four people if need be, although we would only really recommend this for parents travelling with young children. There are no interconnecting rooms, but we can request rooms close to or next to each other for families or larger groups travelling together.
