Place Details
Distance: 13.0Km   Elevation: 980m   High Point: 1050m  
Location: Vancouver, BC, Canada
Directions: Drive north from Vancouver on Sea to Sky highway. Near Porteau Cove, look for signs for the Deeks Lake Trail or Porteau Rd. Turn off highway at an overpass that leads to a parking lot (and nothing but a parking lot.) Trailhead starts in the lot at a signpost, but the rough road the trail follows for the first 3km or so is drivable with a 4WD or high-clearance vehicle with some power.
Summary: Deeks Lake July 3/2011 The trail is in great shape but I highly recommend driving up as far as you can to the main trail head. I made it with my 4 wheel drive but believe you can make it with any truck with good tires. You will save about 3km of road hiking. There is no snow till you arrive at the lake or should I say frozen lake. Only a small portion of the lake was not covered in ice and all around the far side of the lake is covered in snow. I did not go much farther than the lake. Happy hiking!

The trail is clear the whole way up but there is still a small amount of ice on the far side of the lake. It is possible to drive part way up   more →

I have been to Deeks Lake few times and this was the best that I have seen it. It should be because of the fresh snow and reflection. I started   more →

Another attempt at Mt. Windsor, and another no summit day; I guess I am starting to sound like a broken record. It was fantastic weather on Sunday,   more →

This is a hike that I've eschewed for quite a while; mainly due to the amount of negativity surrounding the trail conditions. After today,   more →

The Porteau Cove overpass parking lot is very spacious and the trailhead is right in the lot. The first 3km or so of trail is a logging road   more →

Two thirds of the trail was snow free. Snow started at 720m. No need for snowshoes but the snow was rotten and postholing was frequent. It seemed   more →
