Description
We will take off up through the Agamemnon Channel, past Earls Cove BC ferries terminal, around Captain Island, and into Howtham Sound, finally reaching Harmony Falls. The falls drop just over 1,450 feet from Friel Lake into the ocean. Friel Lake is located on a low elevation plateau on a peninsula dividing Hotham Sound and Jervis Inlet, and because of its low elevation, it doesn’t frequently receive heavy snowfall. It is named after the Harmony Islands adjacent to it, although some people also refer to it as Friel Falls. Lunch will be served with the falls in the backdrop. If we have time on our way back, we can sneak by the town of Egmont and experience the Skookumchuk/Sechelt Rapids in motion.
Harmony Falls is a lofty coastal waterfall found in Hotham Sound in British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast. The falls drop just over 1,450 feet out of Friel Lake, ending almost directly in the waters of the ocean. Friel Lake occupies a low elevation plateau on a peninsula dividing Hotham Sound and Jervis Inlet and because of its low elevation doesn’t frequently receive heavy snowfall. As a result, Friel Lake is largely dependent on rainfall and only produces a flow at its outlet during the wet season, resulting in Harmony Falls running dry by mid-Summer in most years (earlier in low precipitation winters).
