Dodd Narrows can be reached easily once you reached the end of the Cable Bay Trail. You simply continue to follow the path leading to your right and eventually you will see a narrow seaside pathway along the Northumberland Channel to Dodd Narrows. It is approximately 1.5 kms. away from the footbridge. You will be rewarded with a spectacular view of the very narrow channel that is has a very fast current that probably runs between 8 to 9 knots. These currents attract a large assortment of marine lives such as king crab, sea stars, rockfish, cod, California and Stellar's sea lions that feast on a large population of salmon. A large number of yachts, fishing boats and other types of seafaring vessels ply this channel especially during the summer season. You can spend several hours just watching the various activities happening in front of you. There's hardly anyone along the rocky beaches at any given time, except the waterfowls, various birds and the beautiful oceanviews in front of you.
