World Famous Princess Louisa and Chatterbox Falls
"Spend time ashore in this granite bordered fjord. Like everyone before you it will dominate your future dreams. It was carved by the force of glaciers. The steep sides are mirrored in tranquil waters. Waterfalls are numerous, and change with the passing of each weather system. Every encounter with this wonderland is unique."
Quoted from Sunshine Coast Tours
Hiking Trails
There are several hiking trails in the area ranging from a 15-minute stroll to a 1-hour hike. Explore the Caren Range, where a 10,000 year old growth forest is still present, or Skookumchuk Narrows with 5 meter (15 ft) tides and the largest salt water rapids next to the Bay of Fundy.
Boating and Beaches
 The dock is great for swimming and you can explore the lake in a non motorized boat or canoe. Just down the road is the community of Egmont and the world famous Skookumchuck Narrows where you can watch the extreme white water kayakers ride the waves in the tidal flow. If you like boating you can rent a boat at Lowe's Resort or Buccaneer Bay and cruise around the islets and bays of maybe a fishing charter to from Secret Cove is more your speed.
Scuba Diving
British Columbia has been rated by National Geographic and many famous divers,
Jacques Cousteau being one of them, as the fourth best dive spot in the
world. February 2003 issue of Rodale's Scuba Diving Magazine rates B.C. as
the top
overall dive destination in North America. Drop down and visit some of
the largest species of octopus in the world, sea lions, pods of orcas, white-sided dolphins and Stellar
seals. Do you like to scuba dive on wrecks? The Sechelt inlet has one
off the nicest wreck
dives in British Columbia. It was an exciting day when this graceful ship
was placed in deep water to begin her life as one of the largest diving
wrecks on the Pacific Coast. The HMCS Chaudiere seen here is just a short
boat ride
from the head of the Sechelt inlet and must see for all avid divers.
For all your diving requirements visit the local dive shop in Sechelt "Sunshine
Coast Diving".
