Nature's front-row seat is waiting for you! 🦅

One of the best parts about a stay at Riverside by Cowichan Lake Cottages is the incredible local wildlife that shares this landscape with us. Whether you're exploring the trails or enjoying the fresh air, keep your eyes peeled for:

• Majestic bald eagles soaring high above the water
• Black-tailed deer grazing quietly in the nearby meadows
• Playful river otters splashing along the banks
• Schools of fish jumping in the gentle morning light

And if you're lucky, you might spot elk, a black bear, or even a cougar : a true Vancouver Island experience! 🐾

Safety tips for your wildlife encounters:

🐻 Bears : Make noise while hiking, carry bear spray, and never run. Back away slowly and give them space.
🦌 Elk : Keep a safe distance (at least 30m). They're powerful and can be unpredictable.
🐆 Cougars : Don't turn your back or run. Make yourself look big, maintain eye contact, and speak firmly.

When you choose our lake cowichan accommodations, adventure and peace are always right outside your door. Our cowichan lake accommodations provide the perfect base to stay safe and soak it all in.
