Cycling Cowichan Valley Trail Lake Cowichan to Duncan, BC

The western terminus of the Trans Canada Trail on Vancouver Island is currently situated in the Township of Lake Cowichan, BC.
Starting from this common trail kiosk, today we cycle the former E&N railway line eastbound to Duncan, BC.
The Cowichan Valley Regional District has done a great job upgrading this 26km long trail.
Much of the trail is shaded from the summer sun which makes it ideal for year-round adventures.
There are several access or service roads crossing this route.
Paldi is one of the historical sites encountered along the trail.
The Paldi Sikh Temple is the only remaining vestage of Paldi's heady, lumber-mill days which ended in the late 60's
After crossing the old Cowichan Lake Road the trail enters Duncan's suburbs but continues through wooded areas.
The bridging of Bings Creek was completed in 2010 and is perhaps the trails most redeeming feature.
One cannot help but reflect back to the days when mighty steam engines huffed across what was a magnificent trestle located here.
Here, Cowichan Lake Road passes over us as we track beside Holmes Creek eastward to Sherman Road.
and Lane Road to Averill Creek Park where one connects with the Duncan Commons Trail to enter the City of Duncan, BC.,
