Skookumchuck Narrows

Skookumchuck Narrows[1] is a strait forming the entrance of Sechelt Inlet on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast in Canada.

At peak flows, standing waves, whitecaps, and whirlpools form at the rapids even in calm weather.

The difference in water levels on either side of the rapids can exceed 2 m (6 ft 7 in) in height.

[4] The tidal patterns keep the water moving at virtually all times in the narrows area, which attracts a plethora of interesting sea life.

Another location bearing this name, Skookumchuck Hot Springs, is on the Lillooet River east of Whistler.
