The Cowichan Valley is located in south central Vancouver Island, just north of Victoria. Inspiring vistas of valleys and vineyards, forests and farmland, sparkling lakes and crystal-clear rivers abound in this picturesque region. The birdwatcher and naturalist will get an outstanding view of water-oriented wildfowl at the Somenos Bird Sanctuary. The many lakes and rivers offer good freshwater fishing, canoeing and boating, while the surrounding countryside is a haven for hikers, bikers, photographers and sightseers.
