Quick Drive By at a pullout along the north end of Deep Lake.

Deep Lake Drive By

This is one of what will ultimately be 20 caches that will take you on a loop from Colville, north on Aladdin Road, up near the Canadian border on Deep Lake Boundary road, then around through Northport and Kettle Falls, eventually ending back up in Colville. There may be a few side trips along the way but you should be able to complete the entire loop in a day with no problem. Not all of caches will be placed and active at the same time. We will get them done as quickly as we can.

Deep Lake is an absolutely beautiful mountain lake in northern Stevens County. Not really that deep in comparison to others, the lake is predominately in the 45-50 foot deep range. From this cache you will notice a large dead standing tree. I affectionately call this the Osprey Perch because on any given day you will find any number of osprey (fish hawks) sitting on the upper branches eating their recent catch of fish from the lake. You may also see bald eagles, deer, beavers, otters, various other waterfowl, coyotes, moose, etc. in this area.

Deep Lake is a recreational lake and in addition to fishing you will possibly see people kayaking, waterskiing or wakeboarding. From this point you have a nice scenic view of the lake without trespassing on private property. There is a public boat launch just up the road a short way on your left. (They do have pit toilets there. No running water.)
