Backcountry & Powell River Lakes

I wasn’t able to find a non-commercial site that provides details on the Backcountry area around Powell River, however, PR Sea Kayak has a detailed description well worth reading. My husband, James, and I personally know that a trip up to the Eldrid River and beyond is spectacular because we’ve been there albeit on a cloudy day. See the “Powell Lake +” photo album for some great pics of the Backcountry.
