Butze Rapids

Called "kaien" (meaning "frothing water") by local Indians, the Butze Rapids are an interesting tidal phenomenon produced by the strong currents at the edge of the Morse Basin. Viewpoint on Hwy. 16 (5 km (3 mi.) east of Prince Rupert).

There is a Butze Rapids Interpretive Trail is a loop, just under 5 km (3 mi) in length. The trails runs through old growth forest and of course visitors will see the reversing tidal rapids. There are markers along the way with information for visitors.

The trail has recently undergone restoration and is in good condition.
