Time: 10:00AM–12:30PM

The next SFURA walk is at Deer Lake Park on Wednesday, January 13 at 10:00AM. Ted Cohn will lead the walk. The walk has some hills but is generally quite easy and is umbrella compatible.

Driving directions:
From the west:
Drive east on Canada Way to Deer Lake Parkway. Turn right (south) on Deer Lake Parkway and travel a short distance to Deer Lake Avenue. Turn left (east) on Deer Lake Avenue and park at the large Shadbolt Centre parking lot.
From the east:
Drive west on Canada Way to Deer Lake Parkway. Turn left (south) on Deer Lake Parkway and go to Deer Lake Avenue. Turn left (east) on Deer Lake Avenue and park at the Shadbolt Centre parking lot.
We will meet at the West side of the Shadbolt Centre parking lot at the entrance to the gardens.
The route we will walk:

We will turn to the left at Deer Lake, travel around a good part of the lake and then climb to an upper trail where there is a good view of the lake and the mountains. We will then walk westward and take the path that goes under Royal Oak Avenue. We will continue westward until the trail ends, and return by a somewhat different route. The walk should take 2 to 2½ hours (depending on whether you prefer a longer or shorter walk). This is a beautiful walk – rain or shine – and can be adjusted if there is some rain.
