The Best Attractions In Shawnigan Lake

Vancouver Island | Canada

I spent the summer exploring Vancouver Island. Living in Victoria I always took it for granted. Exploring the island re-insured me why Vancouver Island, British Columbia is such a beautiful place to live.

Attractions around Cowichan Valley - Dragonfly Dock Bed and Breakfast, Shawnigan Lake, BC

A Day on the Lake

There is nothing quite like a day on the lake. Sit on the dock with a book, or take the canoe or paddleboat to start your day. In the summer, enjoy hours of swimming, or perhaps you would rather just enjoy the view and a game of checkers with an ice cold drink......
Nearby Attractions

Several provincial parks are within close proximity. West Shawnignan Lake Provincial Park is about 3 kms away featuring towering Douglas fir trees and a broad sandy beach. Koksilah Provincial Park and Bright Angel Park are must sees with natural rocks and rushing water leading to the Kinsol Trestle. Perhaps Butchart Gardens

The Great Trail Shawningan to Sooke

On the newly open Great Trail, I headed to the Kinsol Trestle and cycled back to Sooke via the Cowichan Valley Trail, Sooke Hills Wilderness Trail, E&N Connector and the Galloping Goose.

Sooke Hills Wilderness Trail

Sooke Hills Wilderness Trail from Humpback Reservoir to Wolf Hill on an Evo Electric-assist bicycle (e-bike)-
August 1 2017, I cycled 17½km (11miles) roundtrip from Oak Bay Bike Shop (OBB) in Westshore Mall to the Wolf Hill rest stop along the Sooke Hills Wilderness Trail(aka The Great Trail). It's 4km from OBB to the trailhead at Mt. Wells Park parking (Humpback Reservoir). It's another 4600m (4.6km) to Wolf Hill rest area (and restrooms) from Humback Reservoir.

What an amazing ride! I rented an Evo electic-assist (e-bike) bicycle and rode the whole way there and back. The only time I dismounted was on one downhill (DH) section. Going up the steep hills is no problem on an e-bike the the DH on the loose gravel could end up smarting a bit. I didn't want to find out. A couple of DH switchback have signs stating to dismount but these were not as treacherous as the one where I chose to dismount (and which, BTW, had no sign). We already walked this section of trail so knew where the hot spots were.

Once over the suspension bridge northbound, the trail pretty much heads straight up. I timed the climb from my GPS track and it's over seven minutes at 10km/hr. Now that's a hill.

When this trail first opened, it was touted as a 13km connector between the Galloping Goose Regional Trail (GGT) in Langford to the Trans Canada Trail at Shawnigan Lake. According to my GPS tracks it's closer to 20km. So for those of us who plan on whipping up there to ride it out and back, we may want to re-think that plan. Unless you're exceptionally fit and can do 40km up hill in a day -- then go for it. There are several access points from Goldstream Heights Road so doing it in increments is an option.

Before I go, let me say what a professional, helpful staff Dan Scott has at Oak Bay Bikes in Westshore Mall. Dan had my ride ready the night before and Misha and Pete got me out the door by 10:30 this morning.
