We enjoyed an 8 day paddle in the Desolation Sound near Powell River in British Colombia. We had a tandem boat, two paddlers, and a puppy! The area was beautiful, lots of land and sea to explore. The wildlife was plentiful! We rented boats in Okeover Arm, which gave us a good place to park our car and our put-in/put-out location. We went in May, making it a great time to avoid crowds, see the whales, and have beautiful weather. See our route below for an idea of where we went.
Here was our route (distances are estimates):
Day 1: Okeover Arm to Feather Cove camp area, 10 nm
Day 2 and 3: Tenedos Bay Camp area, 12 nm
