| Burnaby Lake Regional Park |
 The Brunette River flows out from the eastern end of Burnaby Lake |
Activity:
This is not a swimming lake. Burnaby Lake is a lake with lily pads
and lots of birds. This 300 hectare park has a 2.5 mile trail around
the lake, squirrels, beavers, lots of geese and ducks, and other waterfowl.
At the end of Piper Avenue is a nature house and bird watching tower.
There's a dam at the eastern end of the lake from which the Brunette River
flows to the Fraser River. The dam is used to regulate the level
of the lake during times of heavy rainfall.
In 1858, having heard the local Native Indians talk of a fresh water lake north of New Westminster, Colonel Moody of the Royal Engineers send out a search party to find the lake. Moody named Burnaby Lake after his aide and secretary, Robert Burnaby. Details: Free. Open all year from dawn to dusk, nature house open weekends and holidays 10 am - 4 pm from May to September.
