The Grizzly bear is a symbol of the Canadian wilderness and is often thought to be the keystone to a healthy ecosystem. Each fall Grizzly Bears are drawn throughout the area to the Chilko River to feast on the bountiful Salmon that fill its waters. This migration offers us a unique view into the world of the Grizzly Bear and its ecosystem.

The Chilko Valley has one of the largest concentrations of Grizzly Bears during the peak season in the fall. It is not uncommon to see many large boar Grizzly Bears as well as many sow and cub combinations. It is exhilarating to see a mother Grizzly passing her fishing knowledge down to her cubs and witnessing there first catch. Watching these wonderful bears playing and fishing in their natural environment is an experience you will never forgot.

We offer a variety of different opportunities for you to view and photograph the Grizzly bears as well as the many other wildlife that call Chilko home. Bear watching during the morning and evenings along the lake or river can be very exciting. We do not wish to disturb the natural feeding of the bears, but would just like to observe and watch them gorge on this seasonal salmon meal. After a great day of bear watching you will be treated at our lodge with gourmet meals prepared by our first class chef. After supper join us in the bar for a cocktail or have a relaxing soak in our hot tub.
