Burns Lake

Burns Lake sits on the shore of its namesake lake in central British Columbia, and that waterside setting shaped a rail-and-road community on the Nechako Plateau. The village stands on the traditional territories of the Wet’suwet’en and Lake Babine Nation, an essential context for understanding this part of British Columbia’s interior. Forested uplands and lakes define the surrounding country; Babine Lake, one of the province’s largest natural lakes, lies north of town. Burns Lake grew with the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, while Highway 16 now links it with the wider Yellowhead route. Its compact centre serves communities spread across this broad, wooded region.
