The deepest fjord on the coast of British Columbia, Jervis Inlet stretches almost 90 km from the Straight of Georgia near Texada Island to the Skwakwa River. The three arms, Prince of Wales Reach, Princess Reach, and Queens Reach are the site of two of Canada’s highest waterfalls, James Bruce Falls (840 m) and Alfred Creek Falls (700 m). The best known inlet in the area is Princess Louisa Inlet which is accessed through Malibu Rapids. Princess Louisa Marine Provincial Park is the home of Chatterbox Falls and is one of BC’s hidden gems. This view most likely depicts Goliath Bay on the left with Mount Churchill in the distance.
