AREA DATA Copeland Island Provincial Marine Park Bliss Landing is situated in close proximity to an area Known locally as The Ragged Group, the 437-hectare archipelago comprises four of the islands and 14 islets that protect narrow Thulin Passage, the main passageway for boats and kayakers traveling between the Discovery Islands and Desolation Sound. Wilderness camping and fabulous kayaking attracts outdoor enthusiasts to this group of small, moss covered rocky islands. Other leisure pursuits in the area include swimming, fishing, snorkeling and scuba diving. The Copeland Islands and Savary Island lie offshore from Lund on the Malaspina Peninsula of the Sunshine Coast. You can see the white sandy beaches of Savary beckoning in the distance, while the Copelands lie out of sight to the north, 2 kilometers northwest of Lund and southwest of Bliss Landing. Desolation Sound Provincial Marine Park (8,256 Hectares) is British Columbia’s largest marine park. This includes more than 60 km of shoreline, several offshore islands, and a gradually rising upland that contains a number of lakes, waterways, and waterfalls. Unwin Lake; a 173-hectare body of fresh water is the parks largest. Set back to the North and East, Coast Mountains soar to more than 2,400 meters. The warm waters surrounding the area teem with sea life. Ideal for swimming, scuba diving and feasting on your catch of the day, salmon, cod, prawns, crab, clams and oysters. Plenty other tasty morsels lie beneath on the oceans floor; to acquire them you must put on your scuba gear and get a little wet. Or you could take a short drive by boat or car to the Laughing Oyster Restaurant at the head of Okeover Inlet, which is one if not the best place to eat in the overall area of Powell River. Lund Just around the corner is the historic community named after a city in Sweden. It was established in 1899 when the Thulin Brothers started to build the hotel, which is still in use today. Recently the hotel has changed ownership and has recently seen a major renovation. For most of the early years Lund served as a port for fisherman. Today Lund thrives on its attraction from tourists seeking the neighboring Gulf Islands and marine parks. HISTORY Lund is a quiet village about 17 miles north of Powell River, and the physical ending (or, as argued by locals, the "starting") point of Highway 101, which stretches to Chile, South America. The Historic Lund Hotel symbolizes the heart of Lund, and to marine traffic it is the symbolic gateway to beautiful Desolation Sound Marine Park. The area that is now Lund has been known to the Coast Salish peoples for thousands of years was a village site of the Sliammon people. The village of Klah ah men was home to dozens of families and a desirable location as it was accessible by land and sea so approaching visitors could be detected from afar. BLISSBLISS LANDINGLANDING Our property descriptions and geographical information are taken from the B.C. Assessment Authority, Land Titles Office, government maps and other sources. While LANDQUEST does not guarantee the information, we believe it to be accurate, but should not be relied upon without verification Further, both I hohs (Savary Island) and Tohk natch (Okeover Inlet), plentiful in shellfish, salmon and land mammals, were only short paddles away. Fresh water was ample as were Cedar trees, the main material source in the production of tools, shelter, clothing and more. Ceremonies, both spiritual and social in nature, were held at Klah ah men, and included dance, song, and recreational games that were a major part of Coast Salish culture. In 1889, Fred & Charlie Thulin arrived from Sweden, looking for a better life in the new "land of opportunity". The brothers first set eyes upon the area that would later become Lund while sailing by on the side-wheeler tugboat Mermaid on their way to find employment logging in Pendrell Sound. Shortly thereafter Fred and Charlie settled in the area they named Lund, after the University town of the same name in their native Sweden, immediately building a wharf, logging the bay, piping in water and converting suitable land on the settlement to farm land. In 1892, a post office was established, one of only two north of Vancouver at the time. A general store was constructed and shortly thereafter the first passenger and mail boat began making regular stops at Lund, tying it to the world. By 1895, the brothers had built Lund’s first hotel, which held both the first hotel license and the first liquor license to be issued north of Vancouver. A bottle of the best scotch was available for $1.50 and the basement of the hotel housed a jail cell, primarily used to “accommodate” any drunken rowdies patronizing the hotel. By 1905 the Thulins had purchased the first donkey engine seen up the coast, built their first steamboat, "City of Lund", and expanded their chain of stores to Sliammon Village and to where present day Townsite is. As coastal traffic continued to increase, in 1905 the Thulins began construction of a second hotel, The Malaspina, which in 1918 was renamed the Lund Hotel after the original building was destroyed by fire. In November 1999 the Sliammon First Nation and a local businessman purchased the property and commenced extensive renovations, reopening the doors in the spring of 2000. Although further improvements and expansion are planned, the Hotel currently boasts 27 well-appointed guest rooms and the new pub and restaurant feature un-obscured ocean views as well as spectacular menus. During the warmer months, guests may dine on the spacious waterfront decks, savouring the ocean breeze and the bustling activity of Lund Harbour. Historic photos grace the walls of the entire hotel, telling the story of the Hotel and Lund as only those immortalized by the camera could truly tell it. IMPROVEMENTS: Driveway has been installed, septic field has been installed, building site has been prepared. Hydro, telephone and community water are at the lot. RECREATION: Boating, endless sightseeing, fishing, scuba diving, hiking and kayaking.
