Cowichan Valley Trail

Highlight • Trail

The trail is part of the Trans Canada Trail and partly leads through almost untouched nature. Cyclists should stock up on provisions accordingly and be able to remedy any breakdowns on the bike themselves. The nature trail is mostly easy to drive, with heavy rain there are muddy passages. There is no mobile network between Victoria and Lake Cowichan (June 2017).

Kinsol Trestle

Highlight • Bridge

The Kinsol Trestle is an old wooden railway bridge. With a length of 187 metres and a height of 44 metres, it is one of the largest and most spectacular bridges of its type.

It was built between 1911 and 1920 to transport timber. After the railway connection was closed in 1979, the bridge was no longer maintained, which is why its condition continued to deteriorate. After extensive renovation, it was reopened to pedestrians and cyclists in 2011. The Trans Canada Trail runs over the bridge.
