Itinerary description

This gentle rural hike is along the Cowichan Valley Trail (CVT) from Lepage Road to Mayo Lake Park. The trail is very fl_____at and although not spectacular in terms of scenery it does provide some nice rural views. Once you reach Mayo Lake you will be rewarded by a lovely picnic area overlooking the small lake with a westward view down the Cowichan Valley.

The CVT trail is along a portion of the abandoned E&N Railway which once connected Lake Cowichan with Duncan.

There is a picnic area with toilets at Mayo Lake.

You could proceed along the trail past the termination point of this hike to the Town Of Lake Cowichan (approx. 7 km).

The Retreads Hiking Club gives this hike an AVA rating of 1A.
