Experience Sunshine Coast Trails!

The Sunshine Coast is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Really! It is surrounded by ocean and covered with forests, mountains and lakes. This makes for some awesome scenery. You can be standing on a trail and in the distance seeing mountains, a lake and the ocean - all from this one spot.

The area from Sechelt to Earl's Cove (called the Sechelt Peninsula) is almost an island, with just a narrow piece of land at Sechelt preventing it.

If you would like to get a clearer picture of how we are situated, click here to view a map of the lower Sunshine Coast.

The entire area is networked with trails. 100’s of them and I’ve walked or biked almost every one (some many times over) in my 20+ years of living here. My goal is to hike, bike and gps every trail between Earl’s Cove and Port Mellon and create a map of each area's trails.

No matter what you like there will be a trail to suit you. Some trails are easy and some are not. Some are more suited to mountain bikes and others attract more hikers. Some are typically downhill trails for hardcore downhill bikers, many are for freeriders and others are cross-country. As many of our mountain bikers will tell you – and maybe some of the hikers too - there are some pretty gnarly trails out there.

My plan is to share everything I and others know about these trails, including:

  • Trail maps
  • Level of difficulty
  • Directions on how to get there
  • GPS coordinates
  • And more

I would love to know your thoughts about this page, site and/or the Sunshine Coast...so if you have a moment (and a Facebook account OR Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail) please leave a comment in the box below.

As well, over time I will tell you about some of my other favourite things like:

  • Beaches
  • Lakes
  • Places to stay
  • Restaurants
  • Camping
  • Diving
  • Kayaking
  • And the list goes on…

I hope you love the Sunshine Coast, its trails and everything it has to offer as much as I do!

New! Comments

I began this site as a labour of love and in response to what I believed was a need to have one comprehensive website with detailed information about all trails on the Sunshine Coast.

So here it is several months later and I've had so much fun hiking, biking and gpsing nearly every trail on the Sunshine Coast. Along the way the site has gained some loyal followers and we would love to know your thoughts about this page, site and/or the Sunshine Coast...

So if you have a moment (and a Facebook account OR Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail) please leave a comment in the box below.
