Tweedsmuir Provincial Park

July 8, 2009 | Tips from Travellers > Burns Lake, Adventure Tours

 Burns Lake is the northern gateway to the untamed wilderness of Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, accessible by floatplane fron Burns Lake, jet-boat from Ootsa landing, or by foot or horseback via the Alexander Mackenzie Trail. Most of the huge, unpopulated norther half of the Tweedsmuir is encircled by the lakes that comprise the Nechako Reservior. Wilderness guides are available for horseback, canoe and backpack trips through the region. I traveled to the Tweedmuir park by boat with the Rotary Trek. It was such an amazing trip and I would love to do it again. We climbed uo Chikamen Mountain and swam in Surel falls. It is an excperience that can only happen there and it is so wonderful! Every part of the park is amazing and definately worth the trip!

Bear Dens Trail

 The hike took us about 2.5 hours round trip. In this photo it shows Tesinkuit Lake, with a small strip of Francious Lake behind. I would think the mountains in the background are the tweedsmuir mountains. The trail there is mostly up hill. The rock formation is very interesting on the hike. If you like a little more of a difficult hike this is the hike for you!

 This photo was taken last year during the winter on Long Lake Trail, which is near Kager Lake. This picture was a snowshoe trip and it was a beautiful trip. This trail is very different during the summer with completely different scenery. It is a wonderful trail for anytime of the year!!

China Nose

 My family hikes China Nose as a yearly routine; it is a magnificant mountain. The scenery at the peak of the mountain is one of the most beautiful sights and it is right in Burns Lake's back yard. More so it is right in my back yard as my family has a cabin on elwin lake, which has China Nose as the central sight; as seen in the photo that is taken during winter. The mountain and the hike make me proud to live in Burns Lake; it is such an amazing place!
