Staying with the Upper Sunshine Coast region, for canoe especially, is the forestry route in the Powell River area that encompasses a string of several nearby lakes, is generally a three or four day trip by paddle and short portage sections. Campsites are provided while on the trail. The route is in back country until the final few miles where some cottages are situated, but themselves accessible only by water. Combine the hiking on the Suncoast Trail and this canoeing to fill a couple of weeks, keeping in mind that the entire area is landlocked on B.C.'s south coast, only accessible by water (B.C.Ferries) and aircraft, making for uncrowded camping with little distraction. A further note regarding traffic, this year in Canada represents the 150th year since Canadian Confederation. Some measure of consideration to this milestone will be found nearly everywhere you travel in Canada. In fact, all Canadian National Parks are now free now to enter, for the year. This excludes camping fees. Just a further note is that British Columbia has the third most parks set aside within the whole of North America, but all of B.C.'s Provincial Parks will likely continue to charge as before.
