Granite Falls is a stunning paddling destination in Indian Arm, with its majestic 150-foot waterfall cascading over rocky cliffs. Just south of the falls, marine-access campsites offer a serene place to camp amidst nature's beauty. From here, paddlers can explore the Indian River estuary, where the river meets the ocean, for a unique adventure.

A small rocky outcrop in the middle of Lower Indian Arm, is a popular stop for paddlers looking to rest. Accessible by kayak or paddleboard at low tide, its northwest shore offers a small rocky beach, though this disappears when the tide rises. While the island is a great stepping stone to Twin Islands, it has a unique challenge in the spring when aggressive nesting Canada Geese take over, filling the air with their territorial hissing

Just off the east shore of Indian Arm, are a popular spot for paddlers on a day trip or overnight adventure. Connected by a sandy beach at low tide, the larger North Island offers camping with rustic outhouses but no running water. A public dock on the east side provides easy access, and the sheltered waters between the islands are great for spotting marine life like crabs and starfish.

Its discreet location makes it easy to miss, though paddlers can find it by following the west shore past Lone Rock Point and Best Point. The Tsleil-Waututh Nation, the People of the Inlet, hold a belief that it is not appropriate to look at Silver Falls, adding a layer of cultural significance to this serene and elusive spot.
