In addition to fishing, eco-guests choose to concentrate on the other delights of the area known as the Broughton Archipelago. This area is a natural paradise bounded by the mountains of Vancouver Island to the west and the Coast Range to the east. Blackfish Sound and Johnstone Strait are home to one of the largest resident populations of orca whales. Bear, deer, eagles, porpoises, seals, Minke whales, a variety of birdlife and many other delights await the avid nature watcher. The lodge also offers interesting cultural diversions. The local area is home to some excellent artists who are happy to offer art classes and painting classes to guests. Nearby Echo Bay is home to 'Billy's Museum' which houses a fascinating collection of commerical fishing artifacts and many other bits of history from the local area. Guests can also view rock paintings, old villages, native woodcarvers and other fascinating glimpses of the area's long and rich native culture.
