The Stake Lake Trails were first developed in 1983 when the Coquihalla was under construction right through the former Bush Lake – Timber Lake Trails. After a few years, Overlander Ski Club has maintained and further developed the trails. More recent additions include snowshoe trails and off-piste trails.
We cross-country ski and snowshoe the trails in winter, then hike and bike the trails once they dry out in late spring. The best access point is from the Stake Lake parking lot, but the south eastern trails can be accessed from the Lac le Jeune area.
We also kayak the lake and over the year enjoy the area many times.
