Koksilah River Park
Koksilah River Park is an undeveloped provincial park on southern Vancouver Island, tucked along the Koksilah River and Canyon about 7 km west of Shawnigan Lake within the Vancouver Island Forest Reserve. Visitors come for rustic hiking routes, river swimming, and canoeing or kayaking in a quiet forested setting with no crowds or developed infrastructure. Access is via Renfrew Road, a logging road off Shawnigan Lake Road, making it a scenic detour for touring cyclists exploring the Cowichan Valley.
