Deka Lake is over 1100 ha in size, and has a average depth of 70 feet. The deepest part of the lake is at the Northern end and is about 300 feet. Separating the Northern end from the Southern end is a section of the lake called the narrows which is the part of the lake that is the shallowest at only about 5 feet deep
Lake trout are caught up to 10 pounds with rainbow about a pound and a half. Trolled lures can be used for both with spinning gear also effective for the rainbow. Fly fishing is effective on Deka Lake as well. Kokanee have been stocked and are providing enjoyable fishing. Although the lake slows down during hot weather it produces consistently throughout the season.
There is no organized campsite on this 14km long lake, however this cache is located within a few hundred meters from an area that is frequently occupied in the summer by campers and tents. It is a place that not only has stunning views of Deka Lake, you can also reach Sulphurous Lake.
With high fir and spruce covered mountains in the distance, this is a wonderful scenic area.
