Cochrane has a reputation for its western culture, which can easily be felt when one wanders the streets (particularly Main Street). The town is a popular destination for ice cream and coffee in its quaint western-oriented stores as well as for windsports, golfing, hiking and other adventure activities. Cochrane is also a small industrial centre. Major industries include lumber, construction, retail, and agriculture (ranching). Cochrane is known for outdoor pursuits. It is a centre for paragliding instruction, with the renowned Nick Mueller family operating a school at the top of the Big Hill. The hill is also a popular training ground for cyclists from the area, who take advantage of its 7% grade and 3.5 km distance.
