Campbell River is a community in BritishColumbia at the south end of Discovery Passage on northern Vancouver Island.
The town is served by Campbell River Airport, a seaplane base at Campbell River Harbour, a BC Ferries route to Quadra Island, and highways which connect it to neighbouring towns such as Courtenay, The Village of Sayward and Port Hardy.
In 1958 Campbell River miners tunneled for 28 months to plant explosives and demolish a navigational hazard called Ripple Rock, a submerged peak which made the narrows so treacherous that Captain George Vancouver claimed it was "one of the vilest stretches of water in the world" upon sailing it in 1792.
