Knight Inlet

Knight Inlet is a major fjord located on the coast of British Columbia, Canada. It stretches approximately 125 kilometers inland from the mainland shore, making it one of the longest fjords on the British Columbia coast.

It is widely considered one of the premier destinations in North America for observing wild grizzly bears in their natural habitat. Wildlife lodges in the area, such as Knight Inlet Lodge, offer viewing platforms where visitors can safely watch bears feeding on salmon.

The fjord is notorious for its incredibly strong tidal currents, particularly in narrow sections like the Arran Rapids. These surging waters create treacherous conditions for boaters but churn up nutrients that support a rich marine ecosystem.

Because of its remote location in the BC wilderness, Knight Inlet cannot be accessed by car. Most visitors reach the area by taking a floatplane from Vancouver or a boat from Campbell River on Vancouver Island.
