Cowichan River Wilderness Lodge is a privately owned lodge and home situated in a natural setting on the scenic Cowichan River. Located in Lake Cowichan, just 70 minutes from Victoria and Nanaimo, one may experience a sense of seclusion and a closeness to nature while still being able to enjoy the features of the larger cities.

Nearby is the world famous Cowichan Lake, home to kayaking, hiking, swimming, waterskiing, and of course, fishing!This beautiful log home overlooks a river tributary abounding with fish, otters, and birds. Observe the eagles fishing for salmon, watch from the large pest-free patio as the otters play in their natural habitat,or stroll some of the 16 acres of river and forest trails.

After a full day, guests may simply relax in front of the river-rock fire place in the main lodge, or perhaps play board games, read, or watch the big screen TV in the guest lounge. We also have our own pro shop to serve the fisherman's needs or for that extra souvenier. Later, retire in one of our 2 deluxe suites or one of our two standard bedrooms each air-conditioned and complete with hypo-allergenic duvets for the environment sensitive.
