Nitinaht Lake Motel
The Nitinaht Lake Motel is a year-round, nine-room motel operated by the Ditidaht First Nation on the remote west coast of Vancouver Island, reachable via roughly 62 km of active logging road from Lake Cowichan. It sits at the gateway to the West Coast Trail's third entrance and the famed windsurfing fjord of Nitinaht Lake, making it the sole covered accommodation in this otherwise roadless stretch of coastline. Rooms range from simple queen-bed units to two-bedroom suites with kitchenettes, offering a functional base for cyclists tackling this wild corner of the island.
