Trying to explore Ladysmith, BC and the Cowichan Valley (Here's what I found!) | Vancouver Island

Trying to find things to do in Ladysmith, BC and the Cowichan Valley (This is what I found!)
Ladysmith, BC and the Cowichan Valley are located on Vancouver Island and a short (hour plus) BC Ferries ride away from Vancouver Canada. It's a very friendly, nature oriented area of British Columbia that is quickly growing in population.
We begin our trip taking BC Ferries over to Nanaimo BC and driving down to Ladysmith. Ladysmith is a cute and small community that is know it's hospitality and located right beside the ocean. We spent a few hours explore downtown Ladysmith, which is filled with a ton of local vendors and cute boutique shops.
We spend our days nights staying at the Best Western located in Chemainus, BC. Which is a quick 10 minute drive to Ladysmith.
Chemainus is a lovely, seaside town, with lots of beautiful murals and it's unique, year round Christmas decorated downtown is worth the stop for anyone driving by.
The last bit of our trip was spent in the small town of Lake Cowichan. Located about an hour away from Nanaimo and more inland Lake Cowichan is the starting point for anyone looking to explore further inland and see the other side of Vancouver Island. We visited a old decommissioned Canadian army base.
Thanks for watching and leave a comment. It was a short trip and we missed a lot but hopefully you enjoyed the video.

You can actually drive up to it or at least I could that day. Can't remember the name but I know it's behind where they host a lot of big event, music events in lake cowichan so you should know the name of it. Let me know if you end up finding it!
