Duncan to Lake Cowichan by Cowichan Valley Trail
A cycling route starting in Duncan, British Columbia, Canada.
Overview
About this route
The north side trail is all gravel and in good condition (2012). The south side trail is much more scenic with 4 beautiful bridges and lots of great rest stops; however the trail is fairly rough. I rode it on 1" tires but would probably been happier on my knobby tired mountain bike.
The Country Grocer in Lake Cowichan has a great deli and caffeteria. They serve breakfast all day including waffles.
