The Cowichan Valley Trail will take you from Duncan through Lake Cowichan and down to the Kinsol Trestle following former CN and E&N railway lines. With many access points and 8 trestles, it's a beautiful trail to walk, jog or bike. From the Island Spirit Team, we hope you enjoy your time in the Cowichan Valley.
All the Island Spirit Legacy Caches are within a 2 steps of the trail, unless otherwise noted. There is no need to bushwack or trample the vegetation.
Wigeon
The Wigeon used to go by the name Baldpate due to the fact that the white stripe on its forehead resembled a bald head. Wigeons are dabblers like many other ducks however the Wigeon has a shorter bill which results in the ability to exert more force at the tip which helps in dislodging and plucking underwater vegetation. However, of the dabbling ducks the Wigeon is the most likely to leave the water and graze on vegetation in fields.
