Sunshine Coast Trail
Content courtesy of Tourism Powell River
Visit the Sunshine Coast Trail Web Site for current information and maps

The Trail was conceived in 1992 when a group of outdoor enthusiasts realized that there was a vanishing amount of accessible old growth left on the Upper Sunshine Coast. They formed the Powell River Parks and Wilderness Society (PRPAWS), a registered non-profit society, to set aside protected areas linked by corridors, as well as beginning work on the 180km trail connecting the old growth from Sarah Point to Saltery Bay.

PRPAWS approached this staggering goal one trail at a time. Through volunteer labor, the organization built new trails often connecting with old ones. The new trails quickly became popular with the public since they allowed people entry into areas which were until then accessed only by bushwackers or loggers.

With its many access points the Sunshine Coast Trail offers a choice of levels and duration as well as types of terrain. We believe it will become a wolrd class facility that will be enjoyed by visitors and locals.
