Skookumchuck Narrows Provincial Park, Sunshine Coast, BC
Perhaps the most famous inland rapids in Canada, the walk in to view the rapids is a “must do” on the Sunshine Coast. Situated a short drive west of Egmont - a tiny community at the northern end of the Lower Sunshine Coast. The picturesque community will charm you with its friendly locals and laid-back vibe. Reach the rapids via an easy 4 kilometre trail that meanders through old-growth forest to Roland Point, an outcropping of rocks overlooking the rapids. Famous for powerful whirlpools and white-water, on a 3 metre tide, 200 billion gallons of water can flow through the narrows connecting Sechelt & Jervis Inlets, which makes for an awesome ride for experienced kayakers, and an spectacular show for those on land. Be sure to check the viewing timetable before starting to make sure you arrive at the rapids during their peak, though there is about a one hour window on either side of the “best viewing times”, so don’t feel like you have to be there exactly at the right moment!

From Wikipedia:
Skookumchuck Narrows forms the entrance of Sechelt Inlet on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast in Canada. Before broadening into Sechelt Inlet, all of its tidal flow together with that of Salmon Inlet and Narrows Inlet must pass through Sechelt Rapids. At peak flows, whitecaps and whirlpools form at the rapids even in calm weather. The narrows are also the site of a Skookumchuk Narrows Provincial Park.
Each day, tides force large amounts of seawater through the narrows—200 billion US gallons (760,000,000 m3) of water on a 3-metre (9.8 ft) tide. The difference in water levels on either side of the rapids can exceed 2 metres (6.6 ft) in height. Current speeds can exceed 16 knots (30 km/h), up to 17.68 knots (32.74 km/h). Although it is sometimes claimed to be the fastest tidal rapids in the world, Norway's Saltstraumen reaches speeds of 20 knots (37 km/h).
The tidal patterns keep the water moving at virtually all times in the narrows area, which attracts a plethora of interesting sea life.

This ebb current was flowing at about 10 knots. That is king of tame compared to its potential of 17 or more knots. This boat had no trouble navigating the day's maximum turbulence.
