Tweedsmuir Park Lodge is a relaxed family-style lodge in the heart of Bella Coola, British Columbia. It is one of the top wilderness lodges in Canada and an ideal spot for viewing grizzly bears.
Tweedsmuir Park Lodge is a riverfront property with majestic mountain views. Accommodation comprises of 9 chalets, housing 2-4 people in each, most of which are located around the central lawn where bears are frequently spotted. A large spa house, yoga room and a 12 person covered outdoor hot tub ensure a comfortable wind down after a day in the wilderness.
We love Tweedsmuir for its warm hospitality, but most notably, for its exceptional bear viewing. The different ways to observe the bears are an experience in themselves. Guests can safely track bears through the forest on foot with an experienced guide or enjoy scenic float trips on the Atnarko, a pristine glacier-fed river where bears can be seen feasting upon spawning salmon. Alternatively, the wildlife viewing platform located near the lodge is an excellent spot and is for the sole use of lodge guests.
