Facing the Great Bear Rainforest, Fawn Bluff flourishes between the Pacific Ocean and Leask Lake, where legend says Orca whales were seen swimming in ancient times.
Our Ecosystem
Fawn Bluff opens onto the world’s largest intact temperate rainforest—21 million acres of wilderness that includes the remote and pristine Bute Inlet.
One of the most scenic waterways in the world, Bute Inlet is surrounded by rugged coastal mountains rising nearly 10,000 feet out of emerald waters, crowned by the Homathko Icefield and its sister glaciers.
A vital corridor where ocean and land are inextricably connected, this inlet supports more biomass than any other terrestrial ecosystem. The intertidal zone sustains life from the largest species to the smallest organisms. In sacred symbiosis, the forest thrives and the sea teems with life.
Wildlife
Each season reveals a shifting landscape and new chances for remarkable encounters. From the tidal waters to the forested slopes, Fawn Bluff sustains habitats for an impressive array of life—from marine mammals and seabirds to bears, wolves, and alpine creatures.
EXPERIENCE FAWN BLUFF
Water
Orcas rise. Humpbacks breach. Porpoises cut through the currents, while Pacific white-sided dolphins frolic. Frequent companions in the inlet’s natural playground, otters, sea lions, and seals surface to catch some rays.
Air
Above, British Columbia is a birder’s haven. Trumpeter swans, brant geese, and bald eagles share the skies with owls, songbirds, and hummingbirds—all thriving within the vast old-growth forest that meets the sea.
Forest
The Great Bear Rainforest is a sanctuary for grizzlies, black bears, cougars, and coastal wolves. Along the shoreline, bears forage for shellfish and await the salmon’s return, while eagles descend from the air to feed.
