Harrison River Wildlife Viewing

This side of British Columbia is famous for attracting all types of wildlife. This happens especially during the spawning salmon cycle in October. When there is an abundance of salmon, this means that hundreds to thousands of bald eagles flock to the Harrison River, along with various types of wildlife such as; seals, Sitka black tail deer, beaver and the occasional black bear. Here are some activities you can do that are centered on the wildlife.
