Description: |
|
A truly unique sheltered waterfront property of 134 acres with almost 9000 feet along the water. Most of the waterfront becomes a grassy wildlife rich marsh at low tide with the chance of observing deer, bears, wolves, eagles, blue herons, otters, mink and more. The land has luxurious growth of alder, maple, fir, cedar and hemlock, as it has not been logged in the past 30 years or so. The terrain is quite flat and there is plenty of fresh water in the lake fed creek…..not to mention sea run cutthroat trout in the creek delta and salt water. |

A short boat trip to Robson Bight Provincial Park, an ecological reserve, traditionally up to 200 Orcas arrive each summer to rub on the barnacle-encrusted rocks at the mouth of the Tsitika River. As the top predator on the inland-water food chain, they are also attracted by the annual salmon runs that funnel through Johnstone Strait beginning in late June. Whale watching and wildlife-viewing companies are also based in Port McNeill, Alert Bay, Sointula, Sayward and Port Hardy. Stubbs Island, located off Telegraph Cove, is a popular and fascinating dive site, featuring terraced ledges, sheer drop-offs and an opportunity to see orcas, dolphins and other marine mammals. Telegraph Cove is the place to begin exploring Johnstone Strait. You'll find a boat launch and moorage, as well as fishing licences, tackle and bait for sale. This is a prime staging area for kayak departures. Long-term parking can be arranged here for those setting out on extended boating trips in Johnstone Strait.
Accessible only by boat or float plane, the mostly uninhabited Knight Inlet is located due north of Johnstone Strait and the small communities of Telegraph Cove and Sayward/Kelsey Bay on Vancouver Island. Knight Inlet cuts eighty miles through the remote Coast Range of Mountains to the head of Knight Inlet, and Mt. Waddington, the highest mountain located totally within British Columbia. Grizzly bears around Knight Inlet emerge from hibernation in spring (starting in April) to feed on the succulent new spring growth. Viewing peaks during fall (late August) when the salmon are running, as grizzlies converge on the salmon spawning streams to feed on the salmon and stock their fat reserves in preparation for winter ahead.
The fishing areas around Potts Lagoon are not only surrounded by spectacular scenery and sheltered waters, but also contain some of the most consistent saltwater sports fishing on the BC coast. |
