The 34 km long Cowichan Lake is a major landmark on the Pacific Marine Circle Route, a 250 km touring route

connecting Cowichan in the east to Port Renfrew and Sooke in the west, featuring spectacular mountain, river

and ocean scenery. This lakeside town and its dramatic surroundings are a premier vacation destination for

families, outdoors lovers and freshwater sports enthusiasts.

Called the fly-fishing capital of Canada, the town is the

western terminus for the Trans Canada Trail. The Cowichan

Lake Sports Arena provides ice hockey and curling, and there

are baseball and soccer fields and a walking trail. Water ski,

or rent a houseboat and experience leisurely life on the water.

The Heritage Cowichan River, which originates at the lake,

offers excellent whitewater kayaking, and is a popular

destination for tubing in the summer.

Amazing location and property

Access to private beach, just across road. Kayak, SUP, jet ski rental business right beside private beach. Minutes to town and to hiking trails. Beautiful rental property. Clean, comfortable. Owners responded quickly to every question. We did not use the 2 kayaks available in rental as there were no life jackets. Also, a little heavy to carry down to beach (?rolling kayak carrier might be handy).
