Burns
Lake is situated approximately 226 km (141 miles) west of Prince
George on the Yellowhead Hwy 16. Burns Lake is centered in a
region called the Lakes District.
Lakes
District
Looking at a map of BC, one is astonished by the amount of lakes
that do surround Burns Lake.
Centre
of British Columbia
To the north is Babine Lake, BC's largest longest natural lake and,
to the south is Francois Lake, close to the geographical centre
of British Columbia. Farther south is the remote Ootsa Lake, on
the shores of Tweedsmuir (North) Provincial Park.
Recreation
Fishing is famous in the Burns Lake Region, with the lakes yielding
both Rainbow Trout and Char. Other recreational activities include
trail riding, hiking, hunting and, in the winter, snowmobiling and
cross-country skiing.
Grassy
Plains and Takysie Lake
Other sites to see close by are the communities of Grassy Plains
and Takysie Lake. These small communities are on the south side
of Francois Lake.
- The
Southside has information regarding the smaller communities
located on the south side of Francois Lake
Inland Ferry
There is a ferry that crosses the lake on a regular schedule to
the Southside. For those people who have lots of time to explore,
there is a road around Francois Lake through the communities of
Noralee and Ootsa Lake.
