The Chemainus River widens noticeably as it approaches the estuary, with tidal channels, marsh and exposed gravel banks shaping the lower stretches. It’s a good spot to pause and watch the water, with views towards Halalt Island and plenty of birdlife around the river margins. The river is also known for salmon and steelhead runs, although fishing restrictions vary by season, so current BC regulations are worth checking before casting.
