FLASH - Escape to Egmont

6 Jun 2010 08:30
Location: 
Egmont, BC (start at Earl's Cove Ferry Terminal)

 

What:  

  • A part-road/mainly-trail out and back run from the Earl's Cove Ferry Terminal, past Klein Lake to Ruby Lake
  • Also, an excuse to check out the northern-end-of-the-lower-Sunshine-Coast (have I confused you yet?)
  • Although trail extension is currently taking place, anticipated distances are approx. 15k and 25k (but custom distances easily accommodated)
  • Run will start from Earl's Cove Ferry Terminal, along the highway (1+ km) to Egmont Road and either onto new Klein Lake section of the Suncoaster Trail or along Egmont Road (approx. 2km) to North Lake, North Lake gravel road up to Klein Lake and then onto the trail.
  • Will confirm route/trail access at end of May based on trail completion at that time. (Trail overview map attached)

When:

  • Sunday, June 6th 2010 - 8:30am
  • Start time planned to accommodate passengers on the 7:25am ferry from Saltery Bay to Earl's Cove. (This should enable everyone sailing north to get back in time for the 12:20pm sailing from Earl's Cove - next ferry isn't until 4:25 pm!) Run will start after ferry traffic has dispersed.
  • Meet out front of the restaurant (don't worry - they'll likely be closed. They're ALWAYS closed.)
  • Sunday, June 6th is the day following Egmont Day! Why not make a weekend of it and check out the events, Skookumchuk Narrows or the Egmont Heritage Centre?

Escape to Egmont Course Description

Some basic directions for those making their way to Escape to Egmont this weekend. I hope to see you there!

Start: 8:30am, out front of the restaurant at the Earl's Cove ferry terminal.

  • Head south on Sunshine Coast Highway to Egmont Rd (approx. 1k)
  • East on Egmont Road to North Lake Road (approx. 1.5k)
  • North Lake road to Klein Lake forestry road into Klein Lake park (just keep to the right) (approx. 3.5k)

Klein Lark Park sign is the turnaround for the 12k route.

16k Route: turn right at Klein Lake sign and follow campground road around to the public beach. Return via same route.

22'ish k Route: continue straight at Klein Lake sign and follow trail signs to Ruby Lake/Hwy 101 (keep right).  Trail will drop you out at Highway 101, turn around and c'mon back.

I will have our vehicle at the start for anyone who wants to drop a bag. Look for the sign-in /sign-out sheet on the windshield. I may even have some baking for those who come on out.

Looking forward to seeing you! Jackie
