Community Profile - Bella Coola Valley/Central Coast
Community Facts
The Bella Coola Valley is home to friendly communities nestled in the Coast Mountains, with plenty of waterfalls, scenery and wildlife. Giant cedars, mountains and glacial waterfalls grace the landscapes. The Bella Coola River winds along the valley floor through settlements and farms.
The town of Bella Coola sits at the end of the valley where the ocean swallows up the land in a tidal dance that is ancient and predictable yet still new and wondrous. rich in clean air and mountain streams, this is a favourite destination for naturalists, photographers, artists and dreamers.
Hiking and biking trails are plentiful. Rivers hold salmon and trout, and the Burke and Dean Channels offer chinook and halibut fishing.
Culture and history are alive in Bella Coola. West Coast native art has fertile and individual Nuxalk interpretations and expressions, and local artists and writers are abundant.
