Elk Lake
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "not confirmed by the operator" are listed on OpenStreetMap, on the trail website or in tourism listings but could not be checked on their own current page. The huts on the Sunshine Coast Trail were built and are kept up by qPAWS volunteers: free, first come, first served, one night only, with sleeping lofts and outhouses but no mattresses, cooking gear or stocked stoves. Hang your food away from the hut and leave it cleaner than you found it.
