Malahat

Malahat is an area deep in the Cowichan Valley, where the air is clear, the silence is serene, and the views are golden. With the surrounding provincial parks abounding in waterfalls, forests, streams, and peaks, it is a beautiful place to escape to for a nature getaway. You can easily get back to basics, learn to appreciate the simple things again, and enjoy the healing powers of nature. The nearby Spectacle Lake Provincial Park and the Goldstream Provincial Park will offer so much in the way of recreational opportunities. Enjoy the splendor of the rainforest at Goldstream, and hike to the steep ridges of Mount Finlayson; swim in gushing waterfalls and tour through an abandoned gold mine. In Spectacle Park, you can go skating on the icy lake in winter, and enjoy the profusion of thousands of salmon in the waters in the summer and autumn.
