real easy ... just continue on past the Gordon's Site and you will cross a bridge(Tugwell Creek) almost instantly, then the hwy goes up a hill and back down over another bridge(Muir Creek). hang a left after the bridge to park ... enjoy!

hey dood ... yeah no prob if you want a launch i can help you out ... i'll be tying up the phone line on the internet here, but just swing by

Thanks for the info. I am dialed in on the Nit scene but Its cowichan lake that i was curious about. Mostly by Youbou area!

I tried out Muir over a period of 10 days a little while ago. Launch is good on the west side as far as barnacles go but the wind shadow is pretty tough to deal with. I got out about 4 days there then gave up on battling the wind shadow and went back to Gordons. Low tide is no problemo there, high tide..the little point seemed to work out.
