Butedale, British Columbia
- Butedale, British Columbia
Butedale was founded on Princess Royal Island, British Columbia in 1918 as a fishing, mining and logging area. Initially the salmon cannery was established by Western Packers which was purchased and operated by the Canadian Fishing Company until it ceased operating in the 1950s. At its peak the summertime population of Butedale was over 400 people. There is a small dam which generates power from butedale Lake immediately behind the town and a spectacular waterfall flows out of this lake into the ocean immediately to the right of the wharves. The Butedale Founders Association talked about restoring the town but it is quickly falling to ruin. It is a popular point of interest for cruiseship and ferry passengers sailing the Inside Passage of British Columbia. The site is accessible only by boat.The best time to visit Butedale is in the summer.One man, Lou, lives in Butedale and takes care of tours.BritishColumbiaCoast-geo-stub
