REMEMBER: the Skookumchuck
is dangerous at any tide change. All visitors should stay clear of
the water and keep a close eye on children and dogs at all times.
There are two fenced viewing areas suitable for families or those
with pets, so make use of them to be safe. |

The Rapids - On a three-metre
tide change, 200 billion gallons of water flow through the Skookumchuck,
which connects Sechelt Inlet to Jervis Inlet. To view the most spectacular
rapids, you want to time your hike so you arrive at the viewpoint
when the tidal surge is at its strongest. The hike in takes about
an hour from the parking lot. |

BOATERS: especially sailors, should be familiar with the tides.
To ensure a calm trip through the Inlet, it is essential to travel
as the tide is turning. Of course, there will be those crazy kayakers
who chose to run the rapids when they are wild. People have been
lost in the cavernous whirlpools, so do not take this ride
without due caution. |
