Victoria Bodies of Water
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Bodies of Water in Victoria, British Columbia.
The Gorge Waterway is a scenic park and body of water that serves as a narrow inlet that connects the Portage Inlet with the Victoria Harbour. Once a spiritual place for First Nations people and then a recreational site for early Victorians, the area today is popular for recreational boating.
Named after George Vancouver of Great Britain in 1792, the Strait of Georgia runs for 250 km (150 mi) between Vancouver Island and mainland British Columbia. The strait connects with Puget Sound in the south and Johnstone Strait in the north and contains several islands, including the Gulf Islands. As well as being a popular body of water for diving and whale-watching, the strait is a major navigation channel for ferries and cruise ships.
