2. Fishing Groups: Cast, Catch, and Connect
The Cowichan River is one of Vancouver Island’s most popular fishing destinations — and our Cowichan River motel has a private deck at the top of it. We host numerous fishing groups every year, especially during the trout and steelhead seasons.

With close proximity to river access points, gear storage space, and post-fishing relaxation by the firepit, we make group fishing getaways effortless. Come for the catch, stay for the camaraderie.
