I've been researching a good place to go backpacking with the following:

• good view
• normal SUV accessible
• lake with fishing potential
• high elevation gain (to deter crowds)
• car won't get broken into (chilliwack)
• bonus points for proximity to vancouver (optional)

So far, the best candidate I've found was Deeks & Brunswick Lake. I'm not sure if this is true, but my research says:

• safe parking options (paid or elementary school)
• mediocre fishing (idk if Brunswick has any fish)
• very crowded in July - August

Any advice or insight would be appreciated.
