The Haisla of the region have occupied the land here for many centuries Explorers trappers prospectors homesteaders adventurers and missionaries have all come through in the last 150 years and have met with a mixture of struggle and success Their stories combined represent a shared history that is echoed across BC and yet a unique one to the valley area Many came during the Kitamaat Methodist Mission years staying for a time then moving on The valley area saw its share of families working on their homesteads and men prospecting and trapping in numerous creeks and mountain valleys There was also speculation on the land when the western terminus for the Grand Trunk Railway line was being decided

Offering incredible scenery wildlife viewing opportunities and an awe-inspiring serenity your trip to Kitimat to kayak the channel will be a rewarding one

Whether you are an expert or a beginner or somewhere in between you will have many opportunities to enjoy everything the channel has to offer The Douglas Channel is actually comprised of the main channels of the Douglas and Devastation with smaller connecting channels that boast a kayakers paradise of calm waters sheltered coves and landing options The many creeks waterfalls and interesting rock formations offer incredible photo opportunities as you record your journey of discovery

Though its awe-inspiring views await the Douglas Channel is not for the ill-prepared kayaker Few landing opportunities exist where the channel is at its widest and roughest All kayakers need to plan their routes carefully equip themselves with the required safety gear and register a float plan with someone on land before departure Though a multi-day trip on the channel is one you will remember for a lifetime make sure the memories are good ones

For those who would like to get a taste of kayaking group tours as well as equipment rentals are available and reasonably priced
