Little Campbell River Tour
Available in White Rock only.
There are a few beautiful places to explore Semiahmoo Bay from our White Rock location. When the tide and conditions are just right, we can tour the Little Campbell River, or TAT-A-LU (SENĆOŦEN).
This is a productive, multi-jurisdictional, transboundary watercourse located in the heart of the Salish Sea (or Georgia Basin-Puget Sound Ecoregion). This river meanders west from its headwaters in Langley, through South Surrey and into White Rock where it enters Semiahmoo Bay.
We will launch from East Beach and paddle East to the access of the Little Campbell where salmon are jumping, trees change through the season, and all life of the river speaks around us before we paddle back along the shore of the bay to the east beach again.
This river access can only be enjoyed at the right tide transition. It is beautiful and peaceful.
