the third hupacasath reserve in the territory is cous (reserve # 3). it is located on the west side of the alberni inlet adjacent to lone tree point. there used to be a nice seasonal settlement at this place but it is now bare. this is a result of a death of a chief at this place. chief dan watts died accidentally one day at cous and after his death everyone left this place. this reserve was used for hunting and fishing purposes primarily. today there is no one living there but people still go there to do activities such as picnicking, fishing and hunting.
