Lake Cowichan

Lake Cowichan straddles the Cowichan River at the eastern end of Cowichan Lake in British Columbia, a setting that has tied the town’s life to the lake outlet and the forested Cowichan Valley. The river continues southeast toward Cowichan Bay, while the lake reaches deep into Vancouver Island’s interior. Forestry was central to the community’s development, and the Cowichan Valley Trail now follows a former railway corridor through the area. Recognized as a Canadian Heritage River, the Cowichan is also important habitat for salmon and trout. Place Lake Cowichan within the wider Cowichan Valley by exploring webcams nearby.
