- The boat ramp on Ferry Road at the west end of Deas Slough is vehicle accessible. This is where Seadooers, anglers, water-skiers, jet boats, canoes, and kayaks launch. To reach Ferry Road, take the Ladner exit immediately south of the George Massey Tunnel on Hwy 99. Drive west on River Road to Ferry Road. Turn east on Ferry and drive to the launch ramp. From here, Deas Island's rocky-pointed snout is only a quick paddle away.
The full girth of the Fraser River's South Arm lies on the far side of Deas Island and should be paddled only at slack tide.

- The gates at Deas Island Park close at 9pm; leave your vehicle outside them if you decide to linger longer than that. There is no charge to launch and ample parking right at the launch location.
