Endless Opportunities For The Outdoors

Living In The Cowichan Lake Area

The lake lifestyle can be as relaxed or exciting as you make it. Here you have endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, whether it’s sipping a drink  on your lake-facing deck, strolling along the beach, boating, or hiking through old growth forests.

The communities themselves have plenty to offer as well, from lively restaurants and bars to art studios, beautiful inns, farmers markets, wineries, craft breweries and more. The area attracts people who love the good life and have an appreciation for everything Vancouver Island has to offer.

Head out from the lake and you’ll find yourself in the midst of the Pacific Northwest Temperate rainforest. There are hundreds of trails to explore here that wind their way through old growth forests with towering trees. The area is the western gateway to the Trans Canada Trail system, which will run for 24,000 kilometres across the country when completed.

Families love Lake Cowichan for its safe neighborhoods, community-oriented atmosphere and opportunities for recreation. Kids will love being out on the lake, exploring parks and trails, and joining local sports teams. There are two schools in the area that serve students of all ages: Palsson Elementary and Lake Cowichan School.

It’s easy to immerse yourself in the idyllic lakefront lifestyle in Lake Cowichan, and you may just find that you don’t want to leave. However, if you do want to spend a day in a city or need to travel off the island, Victoria is just an hour’s drive away. The city of Duncan is just a 25-minute drive from the town of Lake Cowichan.
