Rainy Day Lake Hut (qPAWS)
- Rooms
- Camping
Free open shelter with a sleeping loft for 10 on Hailstone Bluff above Rainy Day Lake (km 169), with an outhouse, fire pit, picnic areas and two swimming docks. It is a 15-minute walk from 4x4 parking on the Saltery Bay road, so it can be busy at weekends.
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.
