Hiking in Lund

The nearby Sunshine Coast Trail has been compared to the world famous West Coast Trail, which runs along the west side of Vancouver Island, and the Milford Track in New Zealand. The Sunshine Coast Trail is 180 km long and meanders from Sarah Point, at its north end, to Saltery Bay on Jervis Inlet at its south end. Ranging from easy to challenging, it passes by and through some of the most beautiful and varied wilderness in the world.

Accessible at numerous points along its journey, hikers can enjoy easy afternoon jaunts or multi-day hikes. The Trail is well marked on the Recreation Map sold at the Powell River Visitor Centre and at various local businesses. There is also an excellent book entitled “The Sunshine Coast Trail” written by Eagle Walz, one of the bushwackers who helped establish the Trail.

Along the trail there are rest stops and a few primitive campsites with outhouses. The trail is well marked but whatever the length of your hike, take water and food. And your camera.

Near Lund, there is a popular tributary of the Sunshine Coast Trail called Hurtado Point Trail. Accessed exactly one kilometer south of Larsen Road in Lund, this easy trail leads to bluffs overlooking Mace Point on Savary Island. The view is spectacular! It’s a great place to have a picnic or relax on a rocky ledge for an afternoon.
