Port Alice, Where the Eagles Soar

Sited on beautiful Neroutsos Inlet, lovely Port Alice is one of Vancouver Island North's gateways to the Wild West coast. Port Alice's natural setting offers the visitor a diversity of recreation: boating, fishing, mountain biking, swimming, camping and hiking at Link River campsite. Victoria Lake, O'Connor Lake, Marble River Park, Alice Lake and Mahatta River. Try Rupert Arm Recreation Area for some fine saltwater fishing and crabbing. Bear Falls Trail is an easy day's hike or mountain biking expedition.

Port Alice is the prime driving/hiking route to fascinating karst formation - Devil's Bath, Eternal Fountain and Vanishing River. Port Alice is also a favourite spot for sea kayaking - through Neroutsos Inlet to Quatsino Sound and the open Pacific.

There's wildlife viewing everywhere including black bears and an extraordinary population of bald eagles and other sea and forest birds.

For the golfer, Port Alice offers one nine-hole golf course (the first tee is straight up  a hillside) and a 9 or 18 hole scenic and challenging course.

Port Alice pulp mill is currently closed. It is the oldest in British Columbia (1917).

The area also has two first class salmon hatcheries located at the head of Neroutsos Inlet and at Marble River; tours are also offered.
