Sandy Pool

In Cowichan River Provincial Park you'll find Sandy Pool. A great place for a nature walk and a picnic. There is a loop trail that takes about 20 minutes to walk. Next time we'll walk it twice, once clockwise and once counter-clockwise, this way we'll see the beauty twice from different angles. The trail needs some repairs in places but I'm sure that will happen in the spring. There is a wide trail that goes straight to the river and I assume that it can be used to launch a fishing dory. The small parking lot can accommodate a dozen cars, so if you plan to go here I'd do it on a weekday and leave the weekends to the crowds... The trail has some trip hazards, so if you want to look at something pretty it would be wise to stop walking or you may end up doing a face plant! Here are some pictures, enjoy...
