On the south shore of Burns Lake, this small, 65-hectare peninsula is unfinished but prime for time outdoors with a community-maintained, 8-kilometre loop trail and a lakefront popular for swimming. The province’s smallest provincial park, Deadman’s Island, is just two kilometres from the Burns Lake boat launch, and other lake activities include kayaking and canoeing, birdwatching, picnicking, and swimming. Several hike-in campsites are available with tent pads, picnic tables, fire rings, pit toilets, and a few covered shelters. Burns Lake lies within the territories of the Burns Lake Band, the Wet’suwet’en and the Carrier-Sekani Tribal Council.
