Suncoaster Trail is a popular favourite. Phase 1 of this route is 37 kilometres (23 miles) long, runs from Earl's Cove to Halfmoon Bay, and is open to hikers, bikers and horseback riders. The terrain will blow your mind, taking you through Crown land along forest pathways, and alongside pristine lakes. You can also find exit points at various locations on the trail, which allow you to visit Sunshine Coast communities and all their innovative shops, restaurants and attractions.

The first lake you will reach on Suncoaster Trail is Klein Lake. This is a prime spot to enjoy some rustic camping.

After Klein Lake, you can head farther down the trail to reach Ruby Lake. Here you can stop at the Ruby Lake Resort and dine at the on-site Italian restaurant.
