Boat ride , Coffee and Views

A nice thing to do is drive down Argyle to the Quay, grab something to sip or snack and stroll along the Quay and take in the GREAT view of the inlet.

Lovely trails... lots of calming forest... the sound of the rushing water.. and then the Salmon ladders. It is well worth going... especially during the early fall when the Salmon are returning up the falls to spawn. One of the reasons why we love this place.
