Indian Arm, BC- Vancouver’s secret backyard retreat

Today we are cruising around Indian Arm in British Columbia. Leaving from Rocky Point boat launch in Port Moody, making our way through Burnaby, Belcarra, Anmore, Deep Cove, Twin Island, and more. 


Indian Arm is a salt-water fjord that extends approximately 20 kilometres north from the Burrard Inlet. Underdeveloped mountain slopes, untouched provincial parks, and close proximity to Vancouver provides the fortunate few residents with access to the big city, as well as serene natural landscapes offering countless outdoor activities.

Burrard inlet

The inlet runs almost directly east from the Strait of Georgia to Port Moody and is urbanized on most of its shores. About two-thirds of the way east from the inlet's mouth, a secondary, much steeper-sided, glacial fjord, Indian Arm, extends straight north from the main inlet, between Belcarra and Deep Cove in North Vancouver, then on into the mountainous wilderness. 

From Point Atkinson and Point Grey on the west to Port Moody in the east, the inlet is about 25 km (15.5 mi) long; Indian Arm extends about 20 km (12.4 mi) north. Settlements on the shores of Burrard Inlet include Vancouver, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby, and Port Moody.
