Burnaby Lake Regional Park Hiking and Walking Trails

Arthur from Vancouver writes:

Burnaby Lake is as beautiful as Deer lake but the problem is on this 10Km walk you can only see the lake for approximately 200m. Over 95% of the time there is not much to look at from the trail. This is not too bad compared to many trails but nearby Deer lake has gorgeous views for well over 50% of the trail. The traffic is also very loud on the south side of the lake as you are very close to the highway. You can still hear the traffic on the north side of the lake but it is not too noticeable.

I would say this is alot like Deer Lake except longer.

Gorgeous walk around a relaxing beautiful big lake. Some point you do hear all the cars on the highway but you don't see any of them and it's easy to block them out :)

Awesome for running, walking your dog or just on your own.

You may run into some horses too! :)

Yes I agree with the other comment, there are no premitted on this trail.. so please obey the signages.

Het was een leuke tocht langs het meer met mooie natuur en heel veel verschillende soorten vogels.
Ook in het water kwam je zelfs schildpadden tegen.

The boardwalk has since been fixed and has strategically placed mesh to stop slipping.

Also as of right now there is construction on the midpoint of the north part of the trail and you have to run around the north side of the nature house.

PS watch out for road apples on the straightaway.

I access your wonderful site on-line, then printed a map of Burnaby Lake;intending touse the printout for hiking when I get there this coming May. The trail itself didn't show up on the printout. I had to draw it in.

Do others find the boardwalk from the rowing parking lot eastward along the lake extremely slippery lately esp. on frosty mornings? The longitudnally placed timber walkways have a wire mesh covering to prevent slipping and I think it's time the boardwalk with horizontal timbers be covered likewise. This would help prevent hip and pelvic fractures to the coming wave of baby boomers. The alternative will be to fatten the purses of the local orthopedic surgeons or have increased litigation directed at Vancouver Metro Trails.
