There are a bunch of seaplanes and other small aircraft that are usually parked along the fence opposite the Riverway Path. You can check them out as you pass by.

Totem poles by the K’ómoks First Nation have been installed in Courtenay over the past decade to bring greater recognition to indigenous culture. This one overlooks the salt marsh and the banks of the Courtenay River.
