| Confederation Lake Trail
is located on the top portion of the Sunshine Coast near the community
of Powell River, BC, Canada. The well groomed 12 km (7 mi.) hike
is a challenging route leading to a 600 m (2000 ft) summit. The
summit delivers spanning views of the surrounding mountain range
including Tin Hat Mountain, weather permitting of course.
The hike is a full day adventure taking up to 3-6 hours round
trip to complete. Time taken is based on the size and condition
of the hiking group and the amount of breaks taken during the
journey. While trekking and exploring up the Confederation
Lake Trail there are some views of Powell Lake and Inland
Lake.
At the south end of the Confederation Lake Trail
(also known as Pearson Lake) is a flat open area ideal for a picnic
and some relaxing moments. Head further up the trail on the northwest
end of the lake is a pit toilet. Circling the lake, continuing
the hike leads to Fiddlehead Farm on Powell Lake. Admire, take
pictures, take a drink of some liquids and head back.
