Indian Arm[3] (Halkomelem: səl̓ilw̓ət[4]) is a steep-sided glacial fjord adjacent to the city of Vancouver in southwestern British Columbia.

Burrard Inlet and the opening of Indian Arm was mapped by Captain George Vancouver and fully explored days later by Dionisio Alcalá Galiano in June 1792.

[5][6] Indian Arm is a salt-water fjord that extends about 20 km (12 mi) north from Burrard Inlet.

Indian River, marked by a small dock at the north end of the arm, can be reached by boat from the Vancouver area or by a logging road from Squamish.

Say Nuth Khaw Yum Provincial Park includes large parts of both shores of the fjord, as well as Racoon and Twin Islands.

There are wilderness campgrounds at sea level at Bishop Creek (west side), Granite Falls, and Twin Islands.

The park is popular with boaters and kayakers, and is also visited by charter boat day tours leaving from Granville Island, Port Moody, or Coal Harbour.

The management board has equal representation from the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation and the BC Government to co-manage all aspects of the park and heritage area.

[10] Boilerplate penstocks direct water from Buntzen Lake down to the two powerhouses on the shores of Indian Arm.

2 was designed by the English architect Francis Rattenbury, it was built in 1912, 0.40 km (1⁄4 mi) south of Buntzen No.

The site is not very appealing except for the ornate granite addition to the south end of the powerhouse with "Vancouver Power" carved in stone.

The Wigwam Inn, located at the north end of Indian Arm, originally opened as a luxury German Biergarten resort and fishing lodge in 1910.

The property was then sold several times, with a somewhat checkered history, including a stint as a gambling casino, which led to a raid by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
