Knucklehead Wilderness Recreation Area (Powell River)

Tobogganing, Snowshoeing and Cross Country Skiing are only a short distance from the major community of Powell River in the Knuckleheads Wilderness Recreation Area. This is a beautiful wilderness area where experienced people can find recreation that isn't 'canned', benefit from set ski trails and the comfort of warming huts.  The recreation area is approximately 3 miles by 2 miles (unofficial) of gently sloped terrain. The area is part of the provincial forest that is maintained as a working forest, a portion has been logged and replanted, the clear-cut areas and the old logging roads are very suitable for winter traveling on either skis or snowshoes.  Snowshoe equipment rentals are available in Powell River.
