The Skookumchuck Narrows, is a name for an area based in Egmont, British Columbia which is about 3 hours from Vancouver and can only be reached by ferry.
This area experiences tidewater forced through the Skookumchuck Narrows and forms the Sechelt rapids. The difference in water levels between one side of the rapids and the other can exceed two metres in height. It happens at certain times of the day, so you have to plan the 50 minute hike through the forest to get there on time. Even kayakers brave these waters on good rapid days. Great fun in a lovely area!
The water rushing into the narrows at a rate of knots!

Egmont itself is a small village with one store and post office and most importantly a pub with free wifi!!! The entire area is gorgous, loads of lakes, tall trees and snow capped mountains.
