FROM THE MAYOR
Welcome to Burns Lake! Here we offer heavenly surroundings,
enjoy rich traditions, and are blessed with all four of Earth’s
vivid and distinctive seasons. In Burns Lake “It’s Only Natural” and we
would love to share it with you. There are over 3000 miles of serene
lakes that swell with runoff waters in the spring as we prepare for
a rebirth of the countryside. Wildlife, especially moose, bear, and
deer, roam the land freely, while cattle and horses live on ranches
adjacent to town. Imagine summer nights by the campfire roasting
marshmallows while star gazing into the northern skies, or cooking
a fresh catch on an open fire!
While hiking, camping, or mountain biking on one of our many
trails, be sure to take in our picturesque wetlands and wilderness.
Whether a veteran mountain biker, a casual fan, or a family in
search of clean, outdoor fun, you don’t want to miss out on the
renowned Big Pig Summer Mountain Bike Competition and Family
Festival. This is a one of a kind family event that takes place right
here in the Burns Lake area! Next, as winter approaches, the days
may be cooling off, but the activities are just beginning! Winter
is when Burns Lake heats up for first class cross-country skiing,
snowmobiling, and snow-shoeing, while downtown establishments
are preparing treats to keep you warm and toasty.
On the economic side, The Village of Burns Lake is ”Open for
Business.” We work together with the surrounding Lakes District
community to facilitate business expansion, retention, and incentives
to attract investors. The Lakes District has many commercial and
industrial properties that are among the lowest priced in the
province. Add to that our transportation advantages, and you
have a workable business plan. The fully functioning Baker Airport
is located just 15 minutes from town and provides air transportation
complete with 5000 foot, lit runway. It accommodates commercial
and recreational charter flights with low landing fees and fuel is
available on-site. Burns Lake is conveniently located on Highway
16, which is a major trading route for imports and exports to and
from the shipping port at Prince Rupert. We also boast rail services
that provide bulk shipping capacity to all destinations in North
America. Burns Lake offers all this and more because, in 2013,
we will continue building and perfecting our town. By 2015 we
will feature a new hospital, a multi-use facility, including an enhancement
of the existing ice arena and curling rink, a revitalized
downtown, and the newly rebuilt Babine Forest Products sawmill.
We are surrounded by a wealth of natural resources, the beautiful
outdoors, and fresh mountain air. We have exciting, year-round
recreational activities and festivities. However, we take our greatest
pride in our true sense of community. The people of Burns Lake
have proven time and time again to be family-oriented, united,
unique, and diverse. Our history is rich. It bonds us and makes us
forward thinking and progressive. Burns Lake was founded in the
1920’s and is home to generations of families who have established
this multifaceted community experience. Since long before
then, and continuing to this day, Burns Lake has been home to a
diverse First Nations Culture. When you visit Burns Lake, be sure
to make acquaintance with Sasquatch, the First Nations wood
carving located at the Rainbow gas station. You’ll also want to
learn more about the First Nations’ house clans: Bear, Beaver,
Frog and Caribou. Wood carvings of these clans will be installed
this summer as a part of the Downtown Revitalization project.
With all this said, I cordially invite you to Burns Lake. Although we
all know that you can’t buy happiness, I will share this secret:
you can visit Burns Lake, and that’s almost the same thing!

Burns Lake is the “Heart of the Lakes District“. Nestled
in central northern British Columbia the village was
originally named ‘Burnt Lake’ by the Borland Expedition
that travelled over the Caribou-Cassiar Trail in 1869, due
to a tremendous forest fire that had blackened the region.
European settlement of the area
began around 1911, when a
camp for the Grand Trunk Pacific
Railway was located in the area.
The Village lies near the
geographic centre of B.C.
and is the ideal starting point
for a northern adventure. Burns
Lake is the consummate destination
in any season. The village’s
population is about 3,600, but
serves as a supply centre for
over 10,000 people in the
surrounding Regional District.
Located on Highway 16, the
village is about 220 kilometres
west of Prince George, and offers
amenities that are expected at a larger centre, such as
access to a hospital, schools, post secondary education,
as well as shopping, accommodation and restaurants.
It also offers an arena, curling club, tennis courts, soccer
fields and a public library. A Rod & Gun Club and a
nine-hole golf course are also located in the area.
On Burns Lake’s doorstep, there is access to 5,000 kilometres
of lakes and streams. Summer attractions include a
waterfront playground and park, fishing and copious
hiking trails. Unsurpassed wilderness fishing or hunting
experiences await you in Tweedsmuir Park, best enjoyed
with knowledgeable local guides. Burns Lake is the
‘Gateway to Tweedsmuir Provincial Park’, which at almost
one million hectares, is the largest provincial park in BC.
This remote wilderness park is accessible only by air or
water and has consequently retained its pristine,
unparalleled beauty.
Fishing resorts and campgrounds are tucked away along
the cool, sparkling shores of Babine, Tchesinkut, Takysie,
Nadina, Ootsa, Francois and Uncha Lakes. All offer excellent
opportunities to fish for rainbow trout, char, kokanee,
4
B U R N S L A K E – H E A R T O F T H E L A K E S D I S T R I C T

ling cod and salmon. Family owned resorts, cozy B&B’s and
well-equipped campgrounds are located along the lakes.
During winter, the area is a paradise for snowmobiling, ice
fishing and world-class cross-country skiing. During spring,
summer or fall stop by the Pinkut Creek Spawning Grounds.
The cliffs across from the fishery are a great vantage point
to view ancient petroglyphs. From May to September, the
abundance of wild flowers is a photographer’s dream.
Be sure to stop in at the Lakes District Museum. The building
that houses the museum is an architectural treasure built
in 1919 and it was home to the Ministry of Forests. Behind
its doors you will find treasures. In addition, there is a
nearby artisan centre with local handcraft items, as well
as an art gallery.
Explore Highway 35 south and see the Eagle Creek Agate
and Opal Beds, Nourse Creek Falls and Nadina Fisheries.
Take a free 20-minute ferry ride across Francois Lake to
the Southside and find your way to the Skins Lake Dam,
fossil beds and Cheslatta Falls.
The John Baker Airport, 15 minutes west of the village,
has a 5,000 foot paved runway and new accommodations.
There are also excellent highway and railway connections.
So come and visit, stay a day or stay a while, and discover
why so many people choose to make Burns Lake their home.
GETTING HERE…
The Village of Burns Lake is located on TransCanada Highway
16, also known as the Yellowhead Highway. The village is
1,004 kilometres north of Vancouver, approximately 12 hours
driving time and is 226 kilometres, or 2.5 hours drive, west
of Prince George. From the east, Burns Lake is 496 kilometres
or 5.5 hours travelling time from Prince Rupert.
Greyhound bus service makes regular stops right in the
village’s downtown core. West of town the John Baker Airport
serves small planes year round. The airport has 1,524 metres
of paved, lit runway and is capable of accepting larger aircraft
if necessary. There are also new, comfortable accommodations
available at the airport. B.C.’s major airlines serve both Prince
George and Smithers. For more information be sure to stop in
at the Burns Lake Visitor Centre. Private operators run charter
services in the area and some of the resorts have their own
floatplanes.
VIA Rail serves Burns Lake year round and stops right in the
centre of Burns Lake’s downtown core.
Be sure to pick up a map and plenty of information about
the area from the friendly and knowledgeable staff at the
Burns Lake Visitor Centre.

Trails
Crystal clear lakes, meandering trails and hours of
peace and tranquility await you when you visit
Burns Lake. In Burns Lake you have access to nearly
5,000 kilometres of lakes and streams that produce
record-breaking game fish. Pair this with trails of
unspoiled wilderness, home to boundless, ever present
species of wildlife including black bear, moose and deer, and
you have an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise at your feet.
& TOURING
To find out more information
about these and other driving
tours, stop in and see the friendly
staff at the Burns Lake Visitor Centre.
Burns Lake’s effervescent and courteous tourism operators
are ready to offer a friendly smile, invaluable advice and
extend a helping hand whether you are traveling alone
with a kayak, looking for adventure or just wanting a
place to unwind and get away from it all. Burns Lake
welcomes you, and we would be delighted to share
our experience and knowledge and offer you tourism
packages to suit your specific needs.
Highway 16 winds its way past unsurpassed scenery
and leads directly through the Village of Burns Lake,
as it did in 1917 when the government surveyor
first laid it out. As the gateway to the vast,
untouched wilderness of Tweedsmuir
Provincial Park, Burns Lake has a unique,
self-guided driving circle that should
not be missed.

THE
SOUTHSIDE
Only a Ferry Ride Away!
The Southside is just a short, scenic trip from the Village
of Burns Lake travelling along Highway 35 south to
the Francois Lake Ferry Landing. From there a 20-minute
ferry ride across the crisp, sparkling waters of Francois
Lake will deliver you to Southbank on the Southside.
The Southside is an unspoiled paradise, bordered on the
north by Francois Lake, the second
longest natural lake in the
province and, to the south, by
Ootsa Lake which forms the
reservoir for Rio Tinto Alcan’s
aluminum power house and
smelter in Kitimat B.C. The
Southside is part of the wider
Lakes District community and encompasses vast unspoiled
lakes, wide-open spaces of farm and ranch lands and
thick forests that stretch to imposing snow-capped
mountains. Several small communities proudly call the
Southside home, some dating back to the early 1900's.
The area is comprised primarily of ranching, farming
and forestry.
If you are looking for a destination that is largely off
the beaten track, the Southside is unsurpassed. Just far
enough away for the peace and tranquility to unwind
from everyday pressures, but still close enough to the
wide range of services and amenities offered in the
Village of Burns Lake.
There is plenty to see and do. Visit for the day, or set up
camp at the Spillway, maintained by Rio Tinto Alcan as
part of the Nechako Reservoir. Be amazed by the beauty
of the Upper and Lower Cheslatta Falls – a photographer’s
delight. Travel to the Verdun Lookout for the best view of
the Southside, visit the Kenny Dam which dams the mighty
waters of the Nechako Reservoir.
The Francois Lake Forester, a free, regularly scheduled
vehicle ferry crosses Francois Lake between the north
shore and Southbank for an effortless way to begin
your Southside adventures.
The Southside is the geographical area nestled between
Francois Lake and Ootsa Lake. It is home to approximately
2,000 people who live on widely spaced farms, ranches,
acreages and reserves throughout the area. Combined, the
communities of Southbank, Uncha, Danskin, Grassy Plains,
Takysie, Cheslatta, Ootsa and Wistaria, shape the beauty
that is the Southside.
Although untouched in its beauty, the Southside provides
a range of services to meet travellers needs. For local farm
fresh produce, there is a farmer’s market, held in the SEDA
Centre every Saturday during the summer months.

B U R N S L A K E – H E A R T O F T H E L A K E S D I S T R I C T

The Southside has long been home to the Nee Tahi Buhn,
Skin Tyee and Cheslatta First Nation peoples. The Cheslatta
Carrier Nation has a long, well documented history in the
area. Today, their
traditional territory
is centered
on Cheslatta
Lake. However,
much of their
territory, including
Cheslatta
Village, was lost
due to the flooding of the area for the construction of the
Kenny Dam in 1952.
An end to their long battle to achieve justice over their
forced relocation was forged on January 30, 2012, when
elder and former Cheslatta Carrier Nation Chief Abel
Peters paid Rio Tinto Alcan $6 in cash for the return of
nearly 12,000 acres of land that Rio Tinto Alcan had
acquired as a result of the 1950’s Kemano I project. The
land included old Cheslatta village sites. After 60 years,
the Cheslatta people once again own their homelands
outright. During the ceremony, Abel Peters fired three rifle
shots signaling the ‘Return of the Spirits’. Several hundred
people witnessed two local priests bless the remaining
cemetery and Cheslatta Lake. These are the resting places
for over 60 graves that have been washed away since 1952.
Most Cheslatta members now live on a dozen small,
scattered reserves just south of Francois Lake. The band
office and other community buildings are located two
kilometres south of the Southbank ferry dock. Today the
Cheslatta operate the Chief Louie Paddle Company and
use reclaimed flood lumber from the depths of Ootsa Lake
to craft paddles and keepsakes carved by their elders for
local and overseas markets.
When travelling to the Southside, visitors should be aware
that all roads on the Southside eventually change from
pavement to gravel. Forestry roads are radio assisted,
meaning that you should be ready to meet logging trucks
at any time. Driving with due care is a must. The only gas
station on the Southside is located at Takysie Lake Resort,
so plan your travels with this in mind.
For more information on the Southside
visit the Burns Lake Visitor Centre or the
SEDA Centre located east of the ferry landing
at 1246 Uncha Lake Road on the Southside
250-694-3219 or visit: www.sedabc.ca

Walking
TOUR
A Walking Tour of Burns Lake
Featuring Heritage Buildings
Amble through the Village of Burns Lake at your own
pace and discover architectural treasures of years gone by.
The Village’s heritage buildings have shaped its past and
forged its future into the small friendly town it is today.
Gaze up at church steeples, marvel at arched doorways,
take a peek inside some of the buildings and discover why
these well preserved memories of days gone by are some
of the most treasured and photographed buildings in
the Lakes District.
The Old Hospital was built in 1931 by Mrs. Gordon of
the Women’s Missionary Society of the United Church of
Canada and was officially opened in 1932. There was a
suggestion the new hospital be named the ‘Laura Gordon
Hospital’. Mrs. Gordon thanked everyone, but preferred
it be known as the Burns Lake Hospital. It was once the
largest and finest public building between Prince George
and Prince Rupert. It was famous for its fine gardens on
the west side. In 1982 it was declared a heritage building
and was subsequently redeveloped as an office building by
its tenant and owner, the Burns Lake Native Development
Corporation.
The old police building was constructed in 1922. It was
the district’s official police residence, courthouse and jail
until the 1950’s. Later, it was renovated as a newspaper
office and declared a municipal heritage building in 1979.
An iron cell block once filled what is now the production
room of the local newspaper.
trappers. Here the first town site was
planned and some of the first lots were
purchased. The cabin became known
as the ‘Bucket of Blood’, reflecting its
supposed use as a gambling club. In
later years it reverted to a private home
to various families. The prized building
is now situated at the museum.
The St. John’s Anglican Church, located
on First Avenue, was constructed in
1927 by the resident priest at that time,
and was opened to the public in 1929.
With a prominent hillside location overlooking
downtown Burns Lake and
a unique arched doorway, St. John’s
and its companion building, the
Old Rectory, are among the most
photographed buildings on
Highway 16.
The Old Forestry Buildings were
constructed in 1939 and designated
as heritage buildings in 1987. They
are now the home of the Lakes District
Museum, the Chamber of Commerce
and the Burns Lake Visitor Centre.
These buildings represent a style
common in the forest service buildings
across B.C. during the 30’s and 40’s.
The ‘Bucket of Blood’ was the first house to be constructed
in Burns Lake. It was built by Lyster Mulvany,
better known as Barney, the founder of Burns Lake.
The ‘Bucket of Blood’ was occupied for several years by
Barney and his wife Lillian and it was the scene of many
meetings with old timers, prospectors, land scouts and

First Nations Carvings
If it’s a Sasquatch directly out of First Nations folklore that
you are looking for, then make your way to Burns Lake.
Standing watch over Highway 16, outside the Ts'il Kaz Koh
First Nation’s Rainbow Gas Bar is a giant, carved red cedar
Sasquatch that is one of just two in the province. Created
by talented B.C. First Nations artist Ben Gerow for the
Ts'il Kaz Koh First Nation, otherwise known as the Burns
Lake Band, the handsome looking fellow attracts his fair
share of attention. Be sure to stop by to fill up your gas
tank and take some photos with the legendary Burns Lake
Sasquatch. Gerow has also completed four large red
cedar clan carvings that are placed in various locations
throughout the village’s downtown core.
The carvings are a joint initiative between the Burns Lake
Band, the Village of Burns Lake, the Regional District of
Bulkley Nechako and Tourism B.C. Gerow grew up in
Burns Lake and has been carving for more than 33 years.
Each of the carvings took approximately one month to
produce, and are created from one solid section of red
cedar. Each carving represents one of the four clans in
the Burns Lake area – Bear, Beaver, Caribou and Frog.
As part of the Carrier Society, whose traditional territory
stretches from Anahim Lake in the South to Takla Lake in
the North, the six First Nations groups in Burns Lake maintain
a governance system referred to as potlatch, or the
Bah’lats. The four primary clans – the Likh ji bu (Bear),
the Likh sta Mis yu (Beaver), the Gilhanten (Caribou) and
the Jihl tse yu (Frog) – each also having several sub clans.
These clans make up Carrier society.
Take a walk around the village, see the sights and discover
the proud culture of the local Carrier people through the
four-clan carvings.
For more information on the walking tour and clan carving
locations, please stop by the Burns Lake Visitor Centre.

HISTORY OF
& THE LAKES DI
Burns Lake is more than just great fishing and beautiful
lakes. The area is steeped in history and rich with First
Nations traditions. Long before European settlers arrived,
the Indigenous Carrier people lived for generations in the
area as hunters and gatherers. Trade routes between coastal
and interior peoples crossed through the area and many of
the larger lakes, in what is now called the Lakes District.
These were important trade routes and gathering spots.
Alexander Mackenzie was the first European to travel
through the Carrier territory in the southern part of the
Lakes District on one of these trade routes. European
settlers came with the westward expansion of the fur
trade and the construction of the Collins Overland Telegraph
Line. The first permanent European settler in the
area was Charles Bulkley, an American engineer who
was involved in the construction of the telegraph line.
After the construction of the railroad, settlers arrived with
the promise of a new life and inexpensive land. Explorers,
gold seekers, traders, railway workers and surveyors
flocked to the area. Today, that same railway track runs
adjacent to Highway 16 and passes right through the
middle of town. The haunting sound of the train whistle
can still be heard throughout the village.
The town’s official founder, Barney Mulvany arrived in
Burns Lake by dogsled with the money he had won from
a poker game. Upon arrival he made up two tents and one
became a cook tent. Large numbers showed up for his first
Around 1911, Burns Lake was a major center for the
creation of railroad ties for the Grand Trunk Railway.
Later, it was established as a community and a stop
along the Grand Trunk line.

day of business. The tent town consisted of both a
12 tent hotel and a cook tent. In 1915 Barney had the
town surveyed so that he could sell lots. During the survey
he also built more tents, and in 1917 the survey was
finished. In 1918 the Cheslatta Hotel and the ‘Bucket of
Blood’, the town’s first pub, were constructed. The ‘Bucket
of Blood’ survives today and is on site at the Lakes District
Museum. During 1923 the tent town was incorporated
into the Village of Burns Lake. Barney passed away in
1961 at the age of 85.
Another local figure that is fondly remembered is Buckskin
Jim, aka Herbert James Atkinson. He was a scout with
General Custer and was present at Custer’s famous Last
Stand. He was a friend of fellow scout Buffalo Bill and was
almost a partner in Buffalo Bill’s famous Wild West Show.
James lived in the Francois Lake area until his death in
1932. Both he and Barney lie in the Burns Lake Cemetery.
Stop in at the Lakes District Museum centrally located in
the Burns Lake to find out more about the history of
Burns Lake.
Following World War II, forestry rose in prosperity and at
one point Burns Lake had a staggering 90 sawmills. Today,
forestry is still the main industry, with ranching and tourism
close behind. To see the tools and machinery of farming,
forestry, tie hacking, mining and prospecting activities that
have occurred in the area, stop in at the museum and
meet the friendly staff. Take a short stroll around the
grounds and see the tools and machinery of yesteryear.

History of the Francois Lake Ferry
Today, the Francois Forester vehicle and passenger ferry
crosses between the north bank and south bank of
Francois Lake, and provides year-round service. The history
of the crossing shows that getting from one side of the
lake to the other, has not always been the pleasant
experience that it is today.
From the late 1800’s until 1916, residents south of Francois
Lake used private boats during the summer and the lake
ice in the winter to cross. In 1916 the Ministry of Transportation
purchased the ‘Kitexchen and barge’. It had a
one-team wagon capacity, however its service was short
lived, when it sank the same year. The Francois Belle and
barge set sail soon after, serving residents until 1922.
In the 1949 service was provided by the Jakob Henkel that
had a capacity of 16 cars and 40 passengers. The ferry
did not run year-round, and winter crossings via the ‘ice
highway’ occasionally resulted in disaster when a vehicle
broke through, plunging into the freezing depths of
Francois Lake.
Francois Lake Ferry, 1922
On June 13, 1976 the Omineca Princess with a capacity
of four loaded logging trucks, 20 cars and 200 passengers
came on line. This served the area until 2004 when the
Francois Forester was launched and is still in full operation.
This vessel can transport eight logging trucks, 20 other
vehicles and 145 passengers. It operates 18 hours a day,
365 days per year providing an easy, enjoyable way to
travel across Francois Lake.

Looking for adventure, excitement and outdoor activities
with lots of elbow room? Add to this a backdrop
of insurmountable scenery, ever-present wildlife and
world-class fishing and you have just a taste of what
Burns Lake has to offer. With the iconic Tweedsmuir Park
in its backyard, over 1,000 lakes in the district and a myriad
of trails that reward hikers, mountain bike enthusiasts,

hockey or lace up your skates and take
a spin around the rink. Venture out
onto the frozen lakes for some ice
fishing and reel in a trout.
Rockhounding
The Lakes District is a rich hunting ground for the avid rockhounder. There are sites within
a few hours drive from Burns Lake, while others can be hiked to or are accessible by boat.

different coloured jaspers, ryolite and red carnelian agates.
If it’s opals you are looking for, take a short drive from Burns Lake on Highway 35 to
Eagle Creek and follow the signs to the agate and opal beds. Rockhounders will not be
disappointed when visiting Burns Lake. For the fossil hunter, several areas in the Lakes
District contain fossils from the mid-Jurassic period, including molluscs, ammonite and
tetrapods. For more information on where to find the best sites, stop in at the Burns Lake
Visitor Centre, where the helpful staff will be able to point you in the right direction.

MOUNTAIN
RECREATION SITE &
Thrill seekers be ready to meet your match. Some
of the best mountain biking trails in the province,
in Canada and in the world are right here on Burns Lake’s
doorstep, just 10 minutes from downtown. Woven
through some of the best scenery in the area are trails
that are second to none, specifically designed to meet
the needs of all users, from beginners to advanced.
With names like Smells Like Bacon, Pork n’ Beans,
Full Boar, Piglet and Pork Grind, and the Wee Piggy
Skills Park, the “Boer” Mountain theme is taken
to its fullest.
Bike Park and Rec. Site
During the fall of 2006 with the assistance
of Jay Hoots and representatives
from the International Mountain Biking
Association, a skills area and two
downhill runs were designed and
constructed. Approximately 15 kilometres
of single-track trail was laid out. Hoots
returned in June 2007 to design and
supervise construction of a Rotary
sponsored skills park on the same
property. This park hosts a variety of
features, including ladders, teetertotters,
drops, log rides, dirt jumps,
and a pump track which will challenge
riders of all skill levels. Construction of
the single track trail on the park was
completed between 2007 and 2009.
More cross-country and downhill
trails are scheduled for construction
in the coming
years. World renowned
trail design company
Gravity Logic spent

BIKING
CAMPING ON THE LAKE
Burns Lake is a world-class mountain biking destination
and it is quickly becoming the talk of the mountain biking
world, already having been featured in several articles and
television documentaries. Numerous local riders, hikers,
dog-walkers and snow-shoers make use of the trails year
round. There is a six-week coaching program to teach new
riders the skills to launch into the sport. Every summer, the
‘Big Pig’ Mountain Bike Festival, rolls into town. It’s a
three-day fat tire extravaganza that draws in downhill and
cross country enthusiasts from across the province and
features competitive riding and an evening of live music.
All of the trails in the Boer Mountain trail network are
100 per cent legal and sanctioned. They twist and turn
through more than 4,000 hectares of wilderness on and
around Boer Mountain. In the seven years since its inception,
a great deal has been achieved. The Boer Mountain
Trail Network is recognized and heralded as one of the
most progressive, sanctioned and sustainable trail
networks anywhere on the planet.
Kager Lake
Kager Lake is the main trailhead and parking area for the
Burns Lake Trails. Recently expanded to a full campground,
Kager Lake now offers visitors the opportunity to park
their RV or vehicle at several car camping sites on Boer
Mountain. There are seven car camping sites just off the
main parking area tucked away in the trees, offering
privacy with centrally located outhouse facilities. Each site
has a level area for tents or RVs, a picnic table and fire
ring. The Kager Lake Trail is also a must ride or walk with
lake views along this easy, wide, gravel surfaced trail. Ten
tent camping sites are sprinkled around the Kager Lake
trail, offering even greater seclusion and a unique experience
for those who like to venture a bit further from their
vehicles. Bring your canoe or kayak for a paddling adventure
on the scenic lake. There is a sun deck and swimming
dock just below the main parking and car camping area.
Fishing for small trout can also be enjoyed from this dock.
The newest trail, the epic ‘Stearns Creek Canyon Trail’ is
an awe-inspiring cross-country climb and descent.The trail
originates at the Bike Park’s parking lot and follows the
eastern perimeter of the Boer Mountain Recreation Site
to the top of Boer Mountain itself. It’s not to be missed,
so see you out there!

including 1,000 feet of run out and a Race America
Drag Light System.
The event is also a major drawing card for spectators
with two days of races, scheduled entertainment and
a toasty warm concession tent. Plenty of parking is
available on the site. Along with the two days of
exhilarating races, a dinner and dance on the
Saturday night of the event has proven to be
very popular. The Cold Smoke Drags are a great
place for riders to meet other riders who share
the same passion, and a terrific place for spectators
to watch competitors push
their sleds to the limit for a chance
at claiming the top spot. It’s a
Burns Lake event that shouldn’t
be missed.

Skiing
CROSS-COUNTRY
Burns Lake has a long tradition of cross-country skiing
and biathlon and proudly claims to being the oldest
ski club in British Columbia and possibly in Canada.
The Omineca Ski Club, established in 1927, is located five
kilometres south of Burns Lake. During 2013, the club is
celebrating its 85 year anniversary. To date Burns Lake
has hosted four Canadian National Championships, the
Canadian Seniors in 1975, 1989 and 1996, and the
Canadian Juniors in 1977. Two community members have
also competed at the Olympics; Kari Engstad in the Winter
Olympics in 1936, and Esther Miller in the Winter Olympics
in 1976 and 1980. Take a short drive to Decker Lake on
Highway 16, just west of the Village of
Burns Lake to see a sign on the highway
dedicated to Miller’s Olympic feats.
To experience the Omineca Ski Club trails
for yourself, head south on Highway 35
from Burns Lake. A cross-country ski sign
indicates the turn-off to the trails. Turn
left at the sign and follow the road to
the ski lodge. Once there you can set
out on any number of numerous wide,
groomed ski trails of easy to moderate
degrees of difficulty. The trails are rated
according to difficulty and this is indicated
on each trail and the trail sign in
the parking lot. Some of the ski trails
are flat, others gentle rolling and some
with steep sections. If you haven't had a
chance to ski after dark then the lighted
ski trails are a unique experience. Keep
an eye out for wildlife too. The Omineca
Ski Trails pass through various ecosystems.
You may spot, deer and moose as well as
all types of birds. With all this to offer,
you can’t go wrong when you set out
on a cross-country skiing adventure
in Burns Lake.

SALMON
Every year the annual salmon run attracts visitors to
Burns Lake and the Lakes District. The area boasts
populations of sockeye, kokanee, chinook, pink, steelhead
and coho salmon.
Several species of Pacific salmon make the journey upstream
from the Skeena River to Lake Babine to spawning channels.
Both the Fulton River and Pinkut Creek artificial spawning
beds are popular tourist attractions. Make a day of it or
stay a while. There are many resorts that cater to anglers
and camping is also available at some locations.
Pinkut Creek Spawning Channel
The Pinkut Creek Spawning Channel is a Department of
Fisheries and Oceans Canada facility located on the shore
of Babine Lake at the mouth of Pinkut Creek. It was
created as part of the Babine Lake Development Project
to enhance sockeye salmon production by providing a
sustainable spawning habitat. The facility is located
approximately 42 kilometres north of Burns Lake on
FISHING
unpaved forestry roads. The public can
access the site near the lake, at the
marine park access point. Parking is
limited and visitors are asked to walk
into the site and stay within public
viewing areas. A 4-wheel drive vehicle
is recommended. Larger motor homes
are difficult to turn around on the narrow
road leading to the parking area.
Camping is not permitted on site, but
there are a couple of campsites nearby.
Dogs must be kept on a leash at all
times. Please be aware that bears and
other wildlife may be observed during
different times of the year, and use
caution at all times. The salmon usually
arrive between the first and second
week in August, with channel loading
completed by the end of August.

Native Salmon Fishing
For generations, Lake Babine Nation has used traditional
salmon weirs on Babine Lake and the Babine River, harvesting
in excess of 750,000 sockeye annually. The fish were
preserved in vast quantities for food and used as a commodity
to trade with neighbouring First Nations groups,
fur traders and sold to the Hudson’s Bay Company.
In 1906, the Canadian government banned the traditional
fishery. Over the past two decades Lake Babine Nation
worked to re-establish their traditional fishery and their
efforts have paid off. During 2011 and 2012 Lake Babine
Nation’s fisheries were the second largest commercial
sockeye fisheries in the province and one of the world’s
most sustainable wild salmon fisheries.
Over the last couple of years Lake Babine Nation has been
selling fresh sockeye salmon directly to the public from all
three fishing sites, which has become very popular for
both locals and tourists.
Lake Babine Nation’s fishery connects the past with the
future, creating employment, training opportunities and
revenue through the sustainable use of a renewable
resource.
Lake Babine Nation’s commercial fisheries are considered
sustainable as they target fish from the Pinkut and Fulton
spawning channels using dip nets, beach seines, and
small fish boats. Approximately 100 Lake Babine Nation
fishers produce wild sockeye that can be found in
seafood markets throughout the world. The nontargeted
species are released back into the river.
Lake Babine Nation has three
commercial fisheries:
two on Babine Lake and
one on Babine River. As a
direct result they are gaining
socially and economically
significant results, just as
they did over 100 years ago.

FISHING
& FLY-IN FISHING
With approximately 20 crystal clear freshwater lakes
in the immediate vicinity of Burns Lake, you can
understand why the area is known as a fishing paradise.
There is a very good reason why the Village of Burns Lake’s
logo prominently features an image of a fish leaping from
a lake.
Burns Lake is nestled close to five
thousand kilometres of lakes that
ripple from the Stikine Mountains in
the west to the Omineca Mountain
range in the east. When it comes to
fishing in the Lakes District, you can
be sure there are plenty of options.
Avid anglers can drop a line in any
of the lakes in the area and reel in
cutthroat and rainbow trout, char,
kokanee, ling cod and salmon.
The Lakes District provides excellent
fishing for some of the largest
rainbow trout and lake char in the
province. There is no need for ‘tall
fishing tales’ when you go on a
fishing expedition in the local area,
with char weighing in at upwards
of 12 kg (25 lbs) and rainbows from
5-6 kg (10-14 lbs) and you can take
home the photos to prove it!
There is no better place in the province to sit back, relax
and drop in a line. Whether you choose to cast your line
from the shore, or launch your boat into one of the many
lakes and search for that perfect fishing spot, it’s up to you.
Why not join the locals for ice fishing in the winter? Grab
your auger, bundle up warmly and set out on the lake for
a fun day of ice fishing and reel in a trout or char.
If you want to see one of the largest salmon runs in the
world visit the Pinkut Creek Spawning Channel. Located
on Babine Lake, the longest natural lake in the province,
the 177 kilometre long lake is just 30 kilometres north
of Burns Lake.
Pinkut Creek is owned and operated by Fisheries and
Oceans Canada.
Visitors to the area should keep in mind that travelling to
Pinkut Creek requires travelling on a radio assisted logging
road for most of the journey. Watch for wildlife on the
scenic drive.
Visitors are also welcome at the Pinkut Creek Hatcheries.
It’s one of the largest of its type in the world. The salmon
run is a magnificent sight that is sure to be a much talked
about memory for years to come. The best viewing of this
natural phenomenon is in late August and early September.
A popular angling event in the Lakes District is the annual
Ootsa Lake Fishing Derby. This takes places every year on
the Labour Day weekend at the beginning of September.
Prizes are given for the catch of the day.

TWEEDSMUIR
PROVINCIAL PARK
If you are looking for the perfect place to get away
from it all and somewhere to fully immerse yourself in
nature, then Tweedsmuir Park wilderness area will, without
a doubt, surpass all your expectations. Whether you are
looking for a boating adventure, some of the best fishing
spots in the Province, a relaxing place to camp and go hiking
or to set out on a hunting expedition, Tweedsmuir Park is
your ultimate destination. Burns Lake is the ‘Gateway’ to
the Northern end of Tweedsmuir Park. With
the northern section at just under 500,000
hectares of wilderness, the recreational opportunities
are boundless. Keep in mind that
a Tweedsmuir Park adventure requires you to
be completely self-sufficient, since there are
no supplies of any kind available within the
park. A highly recommended option is to
travel with a professional guide, who will
know all the best places to visit, as well as
the rules and regulations of the park.
The park also has a well-documented history.
It was established May 21, 1938, being
named for the 15th Governor General of
Canada, Baron Tweedsmuir of Elsfield. The
Governor General travelled by floatplane
and horseback throughout the park during
August 1937, and he and his party were
greatly impressed by its magnificence. The
adventures have been well documented in
the National Geographic Magazine issue of
April 1938, by Lady Tweedsmuir of Elsfield.
First Nations traditions are also
infused throughout the park.
Eutsuk Lake derives its name
from the Ulkatcho Carrier
dialect. As well, a number of
waterways have been named
after Father Adrien Gabriel
Morice, who surveyed and
mapped the park in the late
19th century.
Wildlife is abundant in the
park and during summer and
fall a wide variety of fauna can
be viewed. Caribou inhabit the slopes of the Quanchus
and Chikamin Mountain Ranges. Mountain goats, moose,
wolves, mule deer and both black and grizzly bears are
also common.
Wolverines, Siberian lemmings and grouse inhabit the
grasslands and a number of bird species, including willow
ptarmigans, grey-crowned rosy finches and goldencrowned
sparrows can be viewed throughout the park’s
grassland and wooded areas. Around the Nechako
Reservoir, dead trees provide nesting sites for ospreys.
The park is located south of Highway 16, approximately
90 kilometres between Burns Lake and Houston.
Maps and brochures are available
at the Burns Lake Visitor Centre

WILDLIFE
VIEWING
The opportunities for viewing wildlife in the Lakes
District are just as plentiful as the lakes that give
the area its name.
Black bear, grizzly bear, moose, deer, lynx, cougars,
wolves, coyotes, beaver and mountain goat all inhabit
the area, along with a myriad of other small
mammals.
Bird watchers and avid photographers
will take delight in viewing the local
area’s birds such as grouse, bald
eagles, hawks, woodpeckers and
a variety of hummingbirds, which are
plentiful during the summer months.
With all the beautiful flowers blooming
in the Lakes District during summer
hummingbirds can be seen flitting from
garden to flower basket drinking nectar.
The Rufous Hummingbird is just one of
the species to inhabit Northern British
Columbia during the summer. It travels
all the way from Mexico to Northern B.C.,
heading as far north as Southern Alaska,
a 2400 km (2000 mile) journey. The
Anna’s Hummingbird also frequents the
area. It is the only type of hummingbird
with a red crown.
If it’s birds of prey you are looking for,
take a scenic 20 minute drive from Burns
Lake on Highway 35 to Francois Lake.
Board the free car ferry to the Southside
and head to beautiful Ootsa Lake, the
home of the world’s largest nesting population
of osprey. The osprey is a fish eating
bird of prey that can grow to in excess of
60 cm (24 inches)
in length, with a
wingspan of 180 cm
(71 inches).
A visit to the
Lakes District
provides the
opportunity
to see this
majestic bird
in its own
natural habitat –
a photographer’s dream. A variety of
species of owls can also be seen in
the area.
There are several locations along Highway
16 on the way to Houston and on the
Francois Lake Circle Loop where bald
eagles can be viewed quite regularly.
When viewing wildlife, care should be
taken not to disturb the natural habitat.
As well, all necessary safety precautions
must be taken. Be bear aware when
travelling in the area and watch out
for wildlife on the roads.
For more information on local area wildlife, and to
see a number of local species on display done by a
local taxidermist, stop in to see the friendly staff at
the Burns Lake Visitor Centre, conveniently located
on Highway 16, right in the centre of town.

ARTS & CULTURE
IN OUR COMMUNITY
A
rts
and culture is alive and well in the Lakes District.
From musical and dance acts, to concerts, street
parades, festivals and organized events, there is always
something to do and see. Indigenous Arts permeate the
spirit of Burns Lake with several annual festivals celebrated
in the community. National Aboriginal Day is a large
celebration in Burns Lake with six local area First Nations
groups gathering together for a colourful parade through
the village centre, followed by a full day of events at Spirit
Square on the shores of Burns Lake. From soapberry ice
cream making to traditional dance and song, it’s a
memorable day for everyone.
Also not to be missed is the Kyle Daniels Memorial
Pow-Wow. A cultural extravaganza that is held in Burns
Lake on an annual basis, bringing in First Nations groups
from across the county for traditional dance and song.
Lakes District Secondary School also holds an Indigenous
Arts Festival annually, as well as several top-notch musicals
and performances throughout the school year.
If you are looking for a unique work of art for your home,
the Burns Lake area has a number of talented artists
producing award winning works including scratch art,
soap stone carvings, photography and paintings on a
wide variety of mediums, all available for purchase from
local art galleries.
Since 2006 the Lakes District Arts Council has been hosting
numerous live performances in the Lakes District. Both in
Burns Lake and the Southside, musical, dance and theatre
acts from across Canada and the world, have tread the
boards in Burns Lake. From Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake Ballet
to a capella harmonies and talented instrumentalists,
to energetic ethnic dancers, a night out at a performing
arts event is all that it is promised to be, and more.
