So much to see and so little time. There is a great level hike at the mouth of Cowichan bay that takes you our to the estuary to see interesting birds etc. Turn left onto Cowichan Bay rd. and go through the village and travel about 7 to 8 Km. until the road turns right and passes over the Kokisilah River bridge. About 200 yards pass the bridge on the right is the parking place for the hike and just follow the path from there.
