The 10 Lakes Overnighter, as the name suggests, links together no less than 10 different freshwater lakes in close proximity to Powell River, British Columbia. This 103km loop is a perfect introduction to the extensive gravel road network that exists on the Sunshine Coast—which can all be attributed to the once-booming commercial logging industry that emerged in the 1880s.
