Lake Cowichan is located 17 miles east of the junction of Highway 18 and
Highway 1 (The Transcanada Highway). The community, with a population of about 2,200 lies at the eastern end of
Cowichan Lake, one of
Vancouver Island's largest lakes. Running north along the lake are paved roads to the logging community of
Youbou, and south to Masachie Lake and Honeymoon Bay, home of a wildflower reserve. The lake circuit is completed with logging roads through the forest to the West Coast communities of
Port Renfrew and
Bamfield. Along the road to Youbou is the Teleglobe Canada Satellite Earth Station, open from mid-June to early September.
