Blue Lagoon
One of the Cowichan Valley's hidden areas, the Blue Lagoon is almost a local secret. Located along Gordon River Rd, Blue Lagoon is only a short walk from the road and a zipline ride away. To cross the river and reach the lagoon you have to sit on a wooden swing, and pull yourself across using the pulley system, but don't pull too fast as the rope will become snagged in the pulley leaving you stranded over the river (believe me, it's happened.) Soon after crossing the river, the lagoon, waterfall and another swing are all right there. During Winter, crossing on the swing is a daunting task as the water level is much higher and much faster. In summer, walking under the swing would be just as easy as riding it across, as well as jumping off the nearby rocks faces into the lagoon
