Overview

Deka Lake is a freshwater body of water located in the Cariboo region of British Columbia. It is located in the Interlakes area. The lake holds two islands, one of which is privately owned. The name also applies to the surrounding rural community. The name comes from a misspelling of the name Decker, which was the name of a family from the Canim Lake Indian Band.
