One of the finest journeys in the province

Almost an inlet unto itself, Powell Lake is the largest lake on the Sunshine Coast and offers endless possibilities.A full-scale boat launch and marina make bringing your motor craft very easy, and allows you access the full extent of this massive lake. Goat island—situated right in the middle of the lake—is a great place to stop for a snack or stretch your legs, if your chosen mode of transportation is self-powered. You will also spot a few privately owned floating cabins dotting the lake.
