Welcome to the Pavilion Lake Cabin Web site.
The Pavilion Lake Cabin has been a place for the family to come together for over 50 years now. It has grown up room by room to what it is now. It is the hope of the owners that it remains a place for the family to grow together, to nurture relationships, and enjoy each others company.
The purpose of this web site is to be a place where you can discover things about the cabin, tell your stories about the cabin for others to read, help you plan your trip to the cabin, discover how you can contribute to making the cabin a better place for all who go there, and schedule time at the cabin.
Weather Forecast
Before heading up to the lake it is always a good idea to know what to expect in terms of the weather. It can even help you decide which route you are going to take – Duffy lake or Fraser Canyon.

Road Conditions
Road conditions are always changing, especially in the fall and the winter. After checking the forecast for snow or heavy rain, it is always a good idea to check road conditions. If you are coming through the Duffy Lake pass, you will be taking Hwy. 99 all the way and will pass through Horseshoe Bay, Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton, and Lillooet. This route will take about 4hours and 15 minutes from downtown Vancouver with good road conditions.
The other route is to take Hwy 1 to Hope. Stay on Hwy 1 at Hope, this can be a little tricky the first time, and drive to Cache Creek. Drive straight through Cache Creek and get on to Hwy 97. Turn left on to Hwy 99 at the Hat Creek Ranch. From here you are about 30 minutes from the cabin. This route will take you about 5 hours from downtown Vancouver.
To check the road conditions, you will need to go to Drive BC. Here is the link
Please note that Winter tires or chains are required on most routes in British Columbia from October 1 to March 31. For select highways, including mountain passes and rural routes in high snowfall areas, the date will be extended until April 30 to account for early-spring snowfall. Passenger vehicles not equipped with snow tires are subject to a $121 fine.
