About Shawnigan Lake
The town
Shawnigan Lake is an unincorporated village on southern Vancouver Island, in the Cowichan Valley Regional District's Electoral Area B. About 3,900 people lived in the Shawnigan Lake designated place in 2021, and about 9,000 in all of Area B (about 306 km², west past Grant Lake toward Renfrew). Settlement followed the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway in the 1880s, with lakeside hotels for Victoria weekenders and a sawmill. Shawnigan Lake School, a boarding and day school founded in 1916, is on Renfrew Road. With no town council, the CVRD sets zoning under its Area B bylaw, which has agricultural and forestry zones, issues building permits, and runs the Shawnigan Village Water System, drawn from the lake. Cowichan District Hospital in Duncan has a 24/7 emergency department.
Around it
The CVRD's Shawnigan Lake flood bylaw sets minimum floor heights near the shore for a 200-year flood with climate change, waves and freeboard, and maps the floodplain. West Shawnigan Lake Park has a day-use beach on the northwest shore; Koksilah River Park, 7 km west by Renfrew Road, a logging road, is undeveloped riverside forest. The Kinsol Trestle, a timber rail bridge 187 m long and 44 m above the Koksilah, carries the Cowichan Valley Trail. Spectacle Lake Park, off Highway 1, has a 2 km lakeside trail. Shawnigan-Mill Bay Road runs about 15 km to Highway 1 at Mill Bay. Victoria International Airport has scheduled flights on Air Canada, WestJet, Porter, Flair, Pacific Coastal, Air North and Alaska.
