I takes a bit of hiking to get to the confluence of the Browns River and the Puntledge River – about 30 minutes but it’s well worth it if you want to understand the importance of the two rivers, or if you like searching fossils.
The Puntledge is important as the source of water for the Comox Valley, recreation use, and for natural salmon spawning grounds. It’s also the source of water for the Puntledge Hatchery and the BC Hydro Puntledge Generation Station.
And then there’s the fossils….
