Telegraph Cove at a Glance
In 1912 the Campbell River
telegraph
line reached its terminus at a sheltered harbour on Vancouver
Island's northeastern coast. Named Telegraph Cove, at the time the first
resident was a single technician working from a lonely one-room cabin.
In the 1920s a tiny and eclectic community led by the Wastell
family ran a sawmill and cannery from the shoreline, creating a purposeful and
elaborate system of boardwalks
that still connect colourful wooden buildings built on stilts, appearing to
cheerfully wade into the waters of the cove.
Boat
tours to the nearby Robson
Bight offers amazing views of orcas
rubbing themselves on barnacle-encrusted rocks, and the breathtaking humpback
whale often surfaces. Populations of dolphins, sea lions, seals, porpoises
and otters populate the Broughton
Archipelago, and the world-class fishing
of Blackfish
Sound includes stocks of halibut, salmon, sockeye and Coho. Black
bears are a common sight, and even the elusive grizzly
can be spotted expertly hunting for salmon along the shores. Its historic value,
atmospheric location and access to numerous outdoor adventures makes Telegraph
Cove one of Canada's must-see vacation destinations.
