Deep Lake Hike Description
Hiking to Deep Lake is a fun adventure in the Kamloops area that will easily fill up an afternoon and allow you to experience the beautiful scenery that the area has to offer. Setting out from the trailhead, make your way north and up the steep initial slope of the route before it begins to level out a bit on the approach to the lake. As you hike through the beautiful grassland terrain, you can look back to the south for some nice views overlooking Kamloops. Once you have arrived at the edge of the lake, take in the amazingly scenic views of the rolling grasslands and blue skies above before turning back for the return journey. At the fork, go right for an alternate route to the trailhead that runs along the creek.
