Beaver - An Island Spirit Legacy.
The Cowichan Valley Trail will take you from Duncan through Lake Cowichan and down past 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.
Beaver
For those of you that don’t like rats, the Beaver is their bigger cousin! The largest member of the rodent family, the Beaver became an official emblem of Canada in 1975. Though they were an important symbol of Canada long before that as was shown when they were featured on the first Canadian postage stamp. A true ‘bucktooth’, the Beavers teeth actually stick outside of the lips so that it can chew/cut wood underwater without getting water in their mouth. In addition to that, they have valves in their nose and ears to keep the water out and even sport a clear inner eyelid – built in swimming goggles!
