This spectacular property on the Queen Charlotte Islands is located within the boundaries of Naikoon Provincial Park, close to the community of Masset. With access to the excellent fly fishing of the Sangan River, and only moments from the sandy beaches along Tow Hill Road, this property would make an excellent recreational retreat.

The property is square in shape and the northern part of the property was logged some 30 years ago. Most of the property is covered with a new growth of trees consisting mainly of spruce, but there is some hemlock and cedar stands scattered among the spruce. There are some patches of old growth timber still remaining on the property.

The Sangan River runs through the property in an east-west direction in the north 1/3 of the site. The Sangan River is world-renowned for its fishing with Chum Salmon, Coho Salmon, Cutthroat Trout, Dolly Varden, Pink Salmon & Steelhead swimming through these waters.

The Queen Charlotte Islands are world-renowned for their fishing, both fresh and saltwater. There are freshwater streams to tempt the avid fly-fisher as well as the majestic Pacific Ocean to lure adventurous fishermen to this unique region. This area is a legend among sports fishermen worldwide with numerous first class fishing lodges attracting hundreds of visitors every year.

The avid fishing enthusiast can play in this coastal playground all year round, attracting all five species of Salmon, plus Steelhead, Trout and Halibut. One can anticipate catching spring salmon upwards to 60 lbs while Halibut on the Island have topped 40 lbs.

Starting in mid-May, the fish appear on the northern Graham Island coast and follow the herring and needlefish down the coastline. Coho show up in early July, and can be found in abundance by late August. Steelhead are the winter catch on the islands, with the first run showing up in October, and running through to March with the peak months being December and January.

Fishermen come from all parts of the world to the Tlell and Yakoun Rivers for the Steelhead run. Crabbing and clam digging along North Beach is a popular past time year round on Graham Island. Razor clams and dungeness crabs are abundant, and can be collected to create world class dinners.

Hiking, biking and walking on the beaches, trails, or in your own backyard provides enjoyment as well as relaxation for outdoor enthusiasts. Exploring the wonders of the rainforest is something the whole family can enjoy year round in this coastal paradise.

Naikoon Provincial Park, one of two provincial parks on the Charlottes, consists of 72,660 ha (179,493 acres) of low wetlands and superb sand dunes, with forests thriving only along river valleys and hills. Naikoon reaches out into Hecate Strait and culminates in Rose Spit, an ecological reserve and excellent spot for watching birds migrating south. Naikoon Park is known for its beautiful scenery, excellent hiking trails and wilderness campsites.

The Queen Charlottes Islands are well known for their abundant wildlife, especially hundreds of small deer. Seeing fifty to sixty in a day is not uncommon while spotting a herd of elk in remote areas is customary on these islands.
