Burns Lake is located in the heart of the Lakes District. There are plenty of Lakes and Trails to come and see, it's a great place to go camping, hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, fishing and kayaking. In the winter Burns Lake is great for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling, ice fishing and more. We also have a great amount of Lodges and resorts, motels, RV parks, an art gallery featuring local works. So come and see the heart of the Lakes District where we are a place for all seasons.
Also if you're in our area during Canada Day we are celebrating, starting with a parade at 11:00 am at the Lakes District Secondary School located west of Burns Lake then heading towards Radley Beach where there will be all the fun!! Also there will be the second annual Bathtub Boat Races that start from Radley Beach and race around Dead Man's Island and return back to the sands of the Radley Beach.
