释义 |
The Bedwell River is a river in the Clayoquot Sound region of the West Coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, emptying into Bedwell Sound, which lies to the north of Meares Island, near the tourist town of Tofino. The indigenous name in the Nuu-chah-nulth language is Oinimitis, which is the namesake of the Oinimitis Trail. Oinimitis Indian Reserve No. 4 is located at the mouth of the river. The river was originally designated the Bear River by Captain Richards, but was renamed in 1923 in relation to Bedwell Sound. Locals still call it the Bear River. The You Creek branch of the Bedwell, or Bear, River was first explored by pioneer Joe Drinkwater. See also
