Indian Arm Sub-area
 
Indian Arm 


The Indian Arm area is very large and really only accessible by boat or float plane. It is sparsely populated – mostly cottages. Some permanent residents do live there, mostly in on the southwest  of Indian Arm at Woodlands, which is accessed by a narrow road continuing from Indian River Road (in the Indian River area).

The Wigwam Inn 

The Wigwam Inn, at the north end of the inlet,  has been there since the turn of the century. A fishing lodge imbedded in the history of the North Shore, it still exists today, carrying on as before. 

 

The Wigwam Inn in 1913 was accessed by daily ferry service.
