Lots of things to do and places to see!
While visiting Burns Lake, there is no shortage of things to do, or places to go.
Burns Lake has gained world renown from the International Mountain Biking Association for its network of trails on Boer Mountain which includes 20 km of downhill and 40 km of cross country trails. The trails continue to draw mountain bikers from all over the world and are expanding every season.
In the winter months cross country skiing is very popular at the Omineca Ski Club. Its facilities have hosted several national championships and are considered to rank among western Canada's best trail networks. The facilities include 25 km of groomed trails, four km of which are lit for nighttime skiing. There is also a facility for biathlon skiing.
In 2014 The Village of Burns Lake completed work on the Lakeside Multiplex and renovations to the Tom Forsyth Memorial Arena. This facility includes a hockey rink, curling rink, rock climbing gym, a squash/racquetball court, a fitness facility, and multi-use rooms. The facility is located on Spirit Square, a large outdoor park with a playground, a beach, a walking path, outdoor fitness equipment, two tennis courts, and a skateboard park.
The 1.9 kilometer Opal Bed Trail leads to an active rock hounding destination, where users can look for precious minerals.
The village is located at the heart of the Lakes District in the centre of the province, an area boasting 4,828km/3,000mi of lake shorelines. It's surrounded by nature, including some of BC's largest freshwater lakes, such as Babine Lake north of town. These lakes are full of lake trout and other fish for the avid fisherman. Boating and swimming are another of our great summertime pastimes.
Other great outings can be found in hiking, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, 4-wheeling, and guide outfitting as just a few examples. There is no end to the fun you can have while visiting our village. Wildlife, including moose, bears and deer roam the land freely and are often seen along our highway.
