Colonial Creek is a great place to view the spawning salmon that return each year, fall is the time to visit for the spawn. Port Alice also provides a wide variety of birds. Eagles are a favourite part of the area and the chance to watch them fishing and hunting in the harbour is amazing, to say the least. But they are only one of the many birds to see here, there are seabirds and forest birds, birds of prey, and open-field birds.
When visiting here, please remember that you are visiting a pristine wilderness, so take only pictures and leave only footprints. If every person left just 1 piece of trash, it would pile up. We have a habit of picking up trash from others and taking it out. Just think, if everyone took one piece of trash out, how clean the forest would become.
