In the summer of 2021 we paddled the Powell Forest Canoe Route near Powell River on the Sunshine Coast of BC, Canada.
This route is not a full circuit, but can be paddled in two directions. We decided to go the less common way and went clockwise. This meant we had to hike uphill twice, with our gear, up the worst portage of the trip, but it also meant we had the wind in our favor up Powell Lake. In the end we were very happy with our choice and would recommend anyone to do it that way. This is a trip for portage loving people anyway!
While you can do the whole thing in three days if you really put your mind to it, most take 5. It is nice to take a full day for the Goat Lake - Windsor Lake portage and many of the lakes warrant puttering about for a good little while. We were in no rush and took 7 days for the whole thing. We easily could have spent another one or two days.
Let me know in the comments if there is any specific information you are curious about. I hope you enjoy the video, thanks for watching!
