Cowichan Lake Waterfront Real Estate

The Highlights of Living on Cowichan Lake

Lake living certainly has its perks, whether it’s enjoying coffee on your own private sandy beach at sunrise, yoga on the dock in the afternoon, or heading out on a boat or paddle board. There’s so much else to explore and experience in the Cowichan community.

Surrounding Lake Cowichan is the Pacific Northwest Temperate rainforest. Outside of California, the trees here are the oldest, highest, and largest in the world. This makes for sensational hiking trails, which is why it will soon be the western point of the Trans-Canada Trail. Currently being developed, this 24,000 kilometer stretch of trail across the country will be one of the longest trail networks on the planet.

The Cowichan area is also a hub for culture, arts, and dining. There are some popular local restaurants, like the Farm Table Inn, but also exciting cideries, wineries, and a stretch of craft breweries that make up the B.C. Ale Trail.  Numerous farmers markets and food stores sell fresh local produce and artisan products, which makes cooking at home a breeze.

The arts and culture scene thrives here because of the spirit of the people, and the connection to nature, providing many ways to appreciate painters, potters, sculptors, glass blowers, potters, weavers, artists, and more in the area. Home studios and galleries are abundant here, and there’s also a theatre and a museum.
