There’s no other place like it in Canada. No wonder they call it Cathedral Grove. Imagine yourself in the midst of an ancient old growth forest with huge branches covered with mosses and ferns sparkling full of life. Only seconds before you were driving and impulsively you stopped. Reminiscent of the California Redwoods you find yourself standing beside the giants within a stones-throw of your vehicle. It was the right decision. This is nature at its finest.

The Marina offers slips and side-tie berths for up to 165 vessels, 28 of which are covered boathouses. All berths have access to hydro and potable water. This is our most popular location for trailered boats because of the river access and four-lane boat ramp. We offer daily, weekly, monthly and annual moorage. Moorage reservations are strongly recommended and over-night parking is available. The fishing is fabulous in most seasons and Clutesi Haven Marina is home to the oldest active fishing club in the Alberni Valley: the Tyee Club.
We invite guests to use our fish cleaning station and weigh scale to take a picture of themselves with their trophy catch.
