Crown Land in the Cowichan Valley

The Cowichan Valley runs inland from Duncan to Cowichan Lake, and the town of Lake Cowichan, at the east end of the lake, is the gateway to its public land. Cowichan River Park, which follows the river down toward Duncan, is about 10 km away, and Gordon Bay Park on the south shore of the lake about 11 km. The big recreation site campgrounds are on the lake: Pine Point (60 sites, 17 km), Maple Grove (83 sites, 19 km) and Nixon Creek (62 sites, 26 km), with Bald Mountain, a small site on the peninsula, 9 km out. Further west, the road to Port Renfrew passes Lizard Lake (27 km) and Fairy Lake (34 km). There are 70 mapped lakes and streams within 25 km, from Kwassin and Grant lakes at the edge of town to Mesachie Lake at 4.5 km.
