What a wonderful experience!!
Our visit to Knight Inlet Lodge was the 2 days of our Canadian holiday we were most looking forward to & it did not disappoint.
From the moment we were met at Campbell River airport by Harold, the Knight Inlet Lodge shuttle driver everything was perfect. The information Harold shared on what lay ahead only magnified our excitement level.
Knight Inlet Lodge is actively working to improve the salmon stocks on the Glendale River. One project towards this end is the fry monitoring program that we operate from late February until early May. The purpose of this project is to count pink salmon fry as they move down the river towards the ocean. We accomplish this by positioning a RST (rotary screw trap) in the river. This system allows us to catch a portion of the escaping fry without harming them in any way.

PAULINE & IAN ANDERSON, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 2010.
Me and my six months pregnant wife spent 3 days at the Lodge. Every part of the trip was great. The seaplane flight was amazing (like in the movies). Very friendly and relaxing atmosphere in a secluded location. The organised activities were excellent and most were suitable to any fitness level. Food ..... oh my God!!! Michelin star. You can´t get seafood much fresher. Still missing those Dungeness Crabs and the prawns. Knowledge of the local area and wildlife was excellent. We were very privilege in being in such a great isolated and beautiful location.

Knight Inlet Lodge is based in Glendale Cove on the coast of British Columbia. Canada and is considered by many to be the premier wilderness destination in the country.
It was a clear October (2009) morning as we departed Campbell River on Vancouver Island Air’s turbo Otter. We could see for miles in every direction and had amazing views of all the grand mountain peaks and fjords of the BC Coast as we flew into Knight Inlet Lodge in Glendale Cove. On the flight was our family of four and six other guests. As it was near the end of the season Knight Inlet Lodge was able to accommodate our family with our two children Zach 8 and Clem 6
