Youbou is small lakeside community located on the north shore of Cowichan Lake. Youbou is the second-largest community on Cowichan Lake. Just for clarification purposes Youbou is pronounced UBOW. That's always a tough one for newbies :o)
Youbou's premier festival, the Swimming Regatta, is held annually at Arbutus Park. For a peaceful setting in Arbutus trees, the waterfront park of Arbutus Park offers a large sandy beach, a playground and the Big Pool. As well as a diving board, a slide from the dock and lifeguards during summer season. Youbou is great for the water enthusiast! For those seeking a 56km walk or run; The Great Lake Walk and Ultra marathon is held annually in September.
