WELCOME TO THE LAKES DISTRICT Welcome to Burns Lake and the Lakes District, Mother Nature’s adventure playground. With 3000 miles of lakes, the region offers some of the best fishing and boating in British Columbia. Feel like catching a trophy rainbow? Try Eutsuk or Babine Lake. Like to fly fish? Grab your favourite rod and reel and try Helene or Mackenzie. These same bodies of water are great for boating too. Francois and Ootsa, with their hidden coves and pine-clad islands, are great for day-long and overnight cruises. Burns Lake and its smaller twin, Decker Lake, are perfect for kayaking and water skiing. Have a sailboard or jet ski? Bring these toys along too, because you’ll have plenty of opportunities to use them. Yet the Lakes District is more than just a boating and fishing paradise. The area has much more to offer outdoor enthusiasts. This region has always been popular with big game hunters, who come from all over the world to hunt moose, deer and black bear. Game birds are plentiful and some of the high country areas produce good-sized mountain goats. Hikers and cyclists will also find plenty to keep them busy here. There are more than two dozen trails in the region (many of them only minutes from downtown Burns Lake), and the Boer Mountain Recreation Area has world-class bike trails for riders of all skill levels.

There’s no shortage of camping available, either. Individuals who prefer well-established, easily accessible sites will find them along Tchesinkut, Babine, Francois, Uncha, and Takysie lakes. Looking for something a bit more secluded? The Lakes District Outdoor Recreation Society maintains over two dozen rustic recreation sites in out-of-way locations throughout the region. If it’s true wilderness you seek, look no further than Tweedsmuir Park, one of the largest protected areas in British Columbia. Accessible only by boat, helicopter, or float plane, it boasts crystal clear lakes, thundering waterfalls, and snow-capped mountains. Artists and photographers will also find more than enough subject matter in the Lakes District. Sunsets and sunrises are often stunning here, and the wildlife plentiful. Take the free ferry across Francois Lake to the Southside, where pastoral scenes abound; travel a bit farther south to Ootsa Lake and see the craggy face of Mount Wells. Set up an easel almost anywhere, and you’ll find something worth sketching. Starting to get the picture? Like our village’s motto, “It’s only natural.” Come visit the Burns Lake; we offer only one warning, you might come for a week, and stay for a lifetime.

3000 MILES OF FISHING It’s been the Lakes District’s motto for decades, and for good reason: the region boasts some of the best sports fishing in British Columbia. Anglers will be hard pressed not to find what they’re looking for in the area’s myriad of lakes and rivers. Don’t have a boat, or don’t want to travel far off the beaten path? No worries – there are plenty of fishing spots close to town and Highway 16.

ANGLERS' QUICK GUIDE TO LAKES IN THE AREA AUGIER LAKE is approximately 19 km long and is 32 km northwest of Burns Lake. Located a few miles past Pinkut Lake, it offers good char and trout fishing, a boat launch, and an attractive beach. BABINE LAKE is located north of Burns Lake. It can be accessed by driving 34 km on Babine Lake Road, or by traveling west of Burns Lake on Highway 16 and then north on Highway 118 to Granisle. Babine Lake is 177 km (110 miles) long, making it British Columbia’s longest natural lake. Mountains and beautiful scenery surround this pristine body of water, and its shoreline is dotted with sheltered bays and secluded sandy beaches. The lake supports rainbow trout, ling cod, dolly varden, lake trout (char), sockeye salmon (fall spawning run), and several other minor species. BINTA LAKE supports very fine char (up to 35 pounds) and rainbow trout fishing. Located approximately five km from Uncha Lake on good gravel road, this lake sports a boat launch. Excellent boating opportunities available as well. BULKLEY LAKE is located on the western edge of the Lakes Timber Supply Area, and supports healthy populations of rainbow trout. BURNS LAKE is located parallel to Highway 16 approximately 226 km west of Prince George. This long, narrow body of water is part of the Endako River, a tributary of the Nechako. It has abundant trout and northern pikeminnow, as well as some char and ling cod. Boat launch, dock, and swimming area at Radley Beach, which is adjacent to the town’s free municipal campground. CO-OP LAKE is located east of Burns Lake a short distance (4 km) north of Highway 16 on a good gravel road. This lake supports a population of eastern brook trout, and is known for excellent winter ice fishing. Boat launch available. DAY LAKE, like Bulkley Lake, is located west of Burns Lake and can be accessed by forest service roads. It is prime rainbow trout habitat.

Fishing Rod Loan Program With 3000 miles of fishing, it’s only fitting that the Rod Loan Program is available at the Burns Lake Visitor Centre. Sponsored by the Freshwater Fisheries Society of British Columbia, this program provides free fishing rods and tackle boxes for visitors to use – it’s as simple as borrowing a book from the library! If you’re visiting in the winter, ice fishing equipment is also available. Stop by the visitor centre or visit www.visitburnslake.ca for more information. Financial support provided by Rapala and the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation.

FRANCOIS LAKE is located south of Burns Lake, and can be accessed by Highway 35. At 120 km (75 miles) long, it’s one of the largest, deepest, and purest lakes in British Columbia. Francois produces trophy class rainbow trout, kokanee, dolly varden, and char. A short free ferry ride crosses Francois Lake to Southbank providing access to Uncha, Takysie, Ootsa, and a host of other fishing hotspots. GUYISHTON (MACKENZIE) LAKE is located less than 15 km south of Burns Lake along Highway 35. Take a short drive on the Guyishton Lake forest service road, and you’ll find this hidden treasure not far off the beaten path. A small lake by local standards, it nevertheless produces rainbow trout up to five pounds. Try a fly in fall. Rough boat launch facilities available.

PINKUT LAKE is located approximately 24 km from Burns Lake on Babine Lake Road. This lake has good trout and char fishing, with trout weighing in around two pounds. Boat launch available. STAR LAKE is located northeast of Burns Lake in the shadow of Boer Mountain. To access it, take the Boer Mountain forest service road beyond Kager Lake almost to the mountain peak, then grab your rod and tackle and hike east to the lake. This clear, cold mountain lake teems with rainbow trout, which can be caught from shore. Excellent hiking trails throughout the area.

EUTSUK LAKE is a huge body of water that supports monster-sized, world-class rainbow trout. This fishing ‘jewel’ in Tweedsmuir Park can be accessed only by boat, helicopter, or float plane. Boat access is via Ootsa and Whitesail Lakes to the portage, which boasts a narrow gauge railway for transporting vessels across into Eutsuk. Stunning scenery awaits you.

TAGETOCHLAIN (POPLAR) LAKE provides trout up to three pounds, and char to 25. The lake is about 1.6 km off the Tahtsa access road on another good gravel route.

For more information on any of these lakes and their associated facilities, contact the Burns Lake Visitor Centre (250) 692-3773.

KAGER LAKE is a small body of water located less than 15 minutes from downtown Burns Lake on a good gravel road. This lake has rainbow trout in abundance, but seldom are they larger than a pound or two. Camping areas, hiking and biking trails. Boat launch and a dock are located on-site.

TAKYSIE LAKE is approximately 48 km south of Burns Lake on the Southside. It can be accessed by taking Highway 35 south from Burns Lake, crossing Francois Lake by ferry, and following the signage. This lake produces rainbow trout up to 10 pounds. Boat launch available.

Both of these routes are well-maintained gravel roads, but be on the lookout for logging trucks and other industrial traffic. Boat launch available.

OOTSA LAKE is part of Rio Tinto’s Nechako Reservoir and considered the gateway to Tweedsmuir Park. This enormous lake offers good fishing for rainbow trout up to 10 pounds, and boasts a weekend-long Labour Day fishing derby with handsome prizes. Due to the unpredictable nature of weather in the region (high winds can come up suddenly, creating waves in excess of six feet), the use of a large boat is recommended. Access to shore-

UNCHA LAKE produces rainbow trout up to three pounds, and very large char. It is located on the Southside, and can be accessed by taking Highway 35 south from Burns Lake, crossing the free Francois Lake Ferry, and turning east at Southbank. The roads are well marked, and a boat launch is available.

DECKER LAKE, which flows into Burns Lake, is also part of the Endako River. It supports mainly coarse fish (pikeminnow and suckers of remarkable size), but is also home to small populations of kokanee, trout, and ling cod. This lake is also great for canoeing, kayaking, and swimming.

PREMIER MOUNTAIN BIKING The mountain biking community in Burns Lake is well organized and highly active, which makes for excellent, accessible, and easy to navigate riding trails. The main mountain biking area is the Boer Mountain Recreation Site – over 4000 hectares of Crown land – just a few minutes’ drive north of town. The area features a campground on Kager Lake, the “hub” for approximately 30 km of downhill and 60 km of cross-country trails. Beginner to intermediate riders will enjoy the trails around Kager Lake. Advanced riders wishing to challenge their abilities may choose from many advanced options including the 18 km machine built allmountain trail Razorback which runs from the Bike Park to the top of Boer Mountain. From the top there are a variety of descent options: the 10 km Pigasus down country trail; black diamonds Full Boer or Shawn’s Flow; blue runs Charlotte’s Web and the signature Gravity Logic built When Pigs Fly; all of which culminate in a spectacular 2000+ square foot wall ride – the Pierce Hofer Memorial – that sits adjacent to the Kager Lake parking lot.

car-camping sites and a beginner-level skills park next to the campground. The park’s well-marked routes twist around a wetland area, several streams, and a number of small lakes. The Bike Park includes a variety of cross-country and downhill trails, with difficulty levels ranging from beginner to advanced. Various trails include fun and challenging features such as jumps, drops, wall rides boardwalks, and a Four Cross track.

Kager Lake also features 12 picturesque walk-in camping/picnicking sites, seven

HIKING: A SCENIC TRAIL AWAITS YOU...

BEAR DENS TRAIL is a 2.4 km trail that is accessed through the Omineca Ski Club. It offers interesting rock formations and a breathtaking view of Burns Lake. Steep slopes make it moderately difficult. Drive south on Hwy 35 and follow the signs to the Omineca Ski Club. BURNS LAKE SOUTH TRAIL is a new low-impact, non-motorized, naturally respectful trail system on the south side of Burns Lake that consists of 8 km of easy walking trails around a small lake and marshy area. There are several hikein campsites along the way with tent pads, picnic tables and fire rings, as well as some covered shelters. To get there from Burns Lake, drive south on Hwy 35 and just before the Omineca Ski Club, you’ll see the turn off for the trail. (Sections of the trail are still in progress.)

To take in the striking scenery of the Lakes District, put on a pair of comfortable hiking boots and head out on one of more than two dozen trails maintained by Recreation Sites and Trails BC.

EVENESHEN NATURE TRAIL is an easily accessible trail in Burns Lake. This one km trail winds along a creek through the heart of Burns Lake. Hikers needing more of a challenge can connect with the Rod Reid Nature Trail at the end of the Eveneshen Nature Trail. This trail can be easily accessed from the Burns Lake Visitor Centre on Highway 16.

NOURSE CREEK TRAIL is one of the most spectacular trails in the area. This 6.5 km trail treats hikers to the impressive Nourse Creek Falls. The first falls are 1.5 km from the start of the hike and the second falls can be found 3.4 km along the hike. From the parking lot, the trail winds upstream along the banks above Nourse/ Allin Creek. As the trail climbs into the hills, there are great views southward over Francois Lake. Along the creek there are scenic hoodoos, waterfalls to admire and, if the weather’s right, some good swimming holes. The trail grade is fairly gentle with just a few short steep sections. To get there from Burns Lake, drive south on Hwy 35. Pass the Francois Lake Ferry terminal and continue along the north shore of Francois Lake for about 15km to the Henkel Forest Service Road. Turn right and drive about 1.5 km to the trail parking lot.

ROD REID NATURE TRAIL, is suitable for the whole family, the 2.1 km trail with its easy, wide, level-ground path is ideal for children and seniors. The trail circles around the astonishing Loch Lomond wetlands and offers hikers a chance to examine wetland plants and observe the area’s extraordinary birds from one of several viewing platforms. Loch Lomond is also known as Beaver Pond since it was created by a beaver dam, which is still visible at the mouth of the pond. It can be easily reached by driving up 8th Ave. then connecting to 9th Ave. until you reach the parking lot or by following the Eveneshen Trail from the Burns Lake Visitors Information Centre on Highway 16. KAGER LAKE TRAIL is a 2.8 km easy and flat hiking trail around Kager Lake suitable for all ages. Hikers can observe some of the area’s native plant species in this secondary pine and spruce forested area. There are also picnic tables and fire pits along the trail for visitors to enjoy. The trail system begins at Kager Lake and proceeds along the lake in both directions, with an option of continuing around Long Lake (6.4km). Secondary trails at the south end of Kager Lake provide viewpoints of the surrounding area. Free camping!! There is a car-camping site, with a large parking area for large RVs and trailers (6 sites, including tables, fire rings and three outhouses) located adjacent to the parking lot. Twelve tent sites (tables, fire rings) are located around

Continue for 2 kms. The access road is fairly rough.

Trail Maps & Guides Stop by the Burns Lake Visitor Centre to pick up their two Lakes District Hiking Guides. They have great information and maps available on local hikes, lakes, fishing, biking and more!

WALKING TOUR

BURNS LAKE SASQUATCH

The heritage buildings have shaped its past and forged its future into the small friendly town it is today. The Old Hospital was built in 1931 by Mrs. Gordon of the Women’s Missionary Society of the United Church of Canada and was officially opened in 1932. There was a suggestion the new hospital be named the ‘Laura Gordon Hospital’. Mrs. Gordon thanked everyone, but preferred it be known as the Burns Lake Hospital. It was once the largest and finest public building between Prince George and Prince Rupert. It was famous for its fine gardens on the west side. In 1982 it was declared a heritage building and was subsequently redeveloped as an office building by its tenant and owner, the Burns Lake Native Development Corporation. The old police building was constructed in 1922. It was the district’s official police residence, courthouse and jail until the 1950s. Later, it was renovated as a newspaper office and declared a provincial heritage building in 1979. An iron cell block once filled what is now the production room of the Lakes District News newspaper. Many believe the building is haunted. There are rumours that ‘Jack the ghost’ still resides in the building. As the story goes... Jack was a man who had actually died in the heritage home. He was incarcerated in the building when it served as the RCMP headquarters, jail and the staff sergeant’s residence.

...your escape from the daily grind!

The ‘Bucket of Blood’ was the first house to be constructed in Burns Lake. It was built by Lyster Mulvany, better known as Barney, the founder of Burns Lake. The ‘Bucket of Blood’ was occupied for several years by Barney and his wife Lillian and it was the scene of many meetings with old timers, prospectors, land scouts and trappers. Here the first town site was planned and some of the first lots were purchased. The cabin became known as the ‘Bucket of Blood,’ reflecting its supposed use as a gambling club. In later years it reverted to a home to various families. The prized building is now situated at the Lakes District Museum. The St. John’s Anglican Church, located on First Avenue, was constructed in 1927 by the resident priest at that time, and was opened to the public in 1929. With a prominent hillside location overlooking downtown Burns Lake and a unique arched doorway, St. John’s and its companion building, the Old Rectory, are among the most photographed buildings on Highway 16. The Old Forestry Buildings were constructed in 1939 and designated as heritage buildings in 1987. They are now the home of the Lakes District Museum, the Chamber of Commerce and the Burns Lake Visitor Centre. These buildings represent a style common in the forest service buildings across B.C. during the 30s and 40s.

History of the Francois Lake Ferry

BURNS LAKE AREA - RICH IN HISTORY

Long before European settlers arrived, the Indigenous Carrier people lived for generations in the area. Important trade routes between coastal and interior peoples crossed through the area, which is now called the Lakes District. The westward expansion of the fur trade and the construction of the Collins Overland Telegraph Line attracted many European settlers. The first European to travel through the Carrier territory was Alexander Mackenzie. The first permanent European settler in the area was Charles Bulkley, an American engineer who was involved in the construction of the telegraph line. Around 1911, Burns Lake was a major centre for the construction of railroad ties for the Grand Trunk Railway. Once the railroad was built, settlers were drawn to Burns Lake with the promise of a new life.

Homeside Antiques

Barney Mulvaney was the town’s official founder. He arrived in Burns Lake by dogsled with the money he had won from a poker game. In 1915, he had the town surveyed and incorporated into the Village of Burns Lake. Barney passed away in 1961 at the age of 85. He is buried in the Burns Lake Cemetery along with Buckskin Jim. Buckskin Jim, aka Herbert James Atkinson, is another fondly remembered local figure. He was a friend of fellow scout Buffalo Bill and was almost a partner in Buffalo Bill’s famous Wild West Show. Buckskin lived in the Francois Lake area until his death in 1932. Both he and Barney lie in the Burns Lake Cemetery.

The area is also steeped in history and rich with First Nations traditions.

It might be hard to imagine that from the late 1880s until 1916, residents south of Francois Lake used private boats during the summer and in the winter crossed over the lake on the ice. In 1916, the Ministry of Transportation purchased the ‘Kitexchen and barge,’ which had a one-team wagon capacity. The barge’s service was short lived regrettably, sinking that same year. Next was the Francois Belle and barge to traverse the vast waters, serving residents until 1922. The Francois Lake Ferry was the next vessel to ply the waters. By 1949, service was provided by the Jacob Henkel, which had a capacity of 16 cars and 40 passengers. The ferry did not run yearround, however, and winter crossings via the ‘ice highway’ occasionally resulted in disaster when a vehicle broke through, plunging into the freezing depths of Francois Lake. There are many buried treasures sitting on the bottom of Francois Lake. Things improved when the Omineca Princess, which had a capacity of four loaded logging trucks, 20 cars and 200 passengers, came on line in the summer of 1976. The Omineca Princess served the area until 2004, when the Francois Forester was launched. The Francois Forester can transport eight logging trucks, 20 vehicles and 145 passengers. She operates 365 days per year providing an easy way for residents and visitors to travel across the clean waters of Francois Lake, not to mention the ride is free.

OOTSA-FRANCOIS LAKE CIRCLE TOUR The Lakes District has its own circle tour - and it’s not one to be missed. For a beautiful circle tour, take Highway 35 south to Francois Lake and board the free ferry for a 20 minute ride across Francois Lake. Once you arrive at Southbank you have two options; turn left at the junction and head east to scenic Uncha Lake, home to some of the best char fishing in the area, or continue through Danskin to Grassy Plains, with its rolling meadows and active ranching operations. Continue south and you’ll eventually end up at Takysie Lake, a sportsman’s paradise of trout fishing, hiking and hunting. There is also gas and propane available at Takysie Lake. From Takysie, follow the road to Ootsa Lake, then turn right and follow the Ootsa-Nadina Road through Streatham, Wistaria, and a host of small communities. Along the way, there’ll be a breath-taking view of Tweedsmuir Park and Mount Wells. When you reach the west end of Francois Lake and the Nadina River - almost in the shadow of Nadina Mountain - turn east along the Colleymount Road. The road will take you throughout the communities of Noralee and Colleymount - and eventually return to Northbank, thus completing the circle.

FIND YOURSELF ON THE HISTORIC SOUTHSIDE Travelling a short 23 km south of Burns Lake on Highway 35 takes you to the grandeur of Francois Lake. Here waits the Francois Forester to transport you effortlessly to an area that is steeped in First Nations and settler history - the Southside. The Southside is the traditional territory of the people of the Cheslatta Carrier Nation, Skin Tyee and Nee Tahi Buhn. In 1909 settlers came to the Southside by trail from Bella Coola. It was a tough journey made by resilient, pioneering folks. The rich culture of the First Nations combined with the fiercely determined nature of the early settlers has left a legacy of independence to today. Arriving at Southbank, the southern terminus of the Francois Forester, visitors have the opportunity to head East to the areas of Uncha, Binta and Knapp Lakes – lakes well-known for their fabulous fishing. Heading south from Southbank will take you through the historic communities of Danskin and Grassy Plains. Keep heading south on Keefe’s Landing Road and you’ll get to the junction for Takysie Lake and Ootsa Lake. Not sure which road to take? No worries, you can enjoy a great circle route. Travelling straight onto Eakin Settlement Road will bring you to Takysie Lake. Food and fuel services (including diesel) are available here in case you need some “fuel” for the rest of your journey. The road now turns to well-maintained gravel. Time to slow down and keep an eye out for the abundant wildlife. The next junction is the scenic Cheslatta Road which takes you past the Upper Cheslatta Falls, to Cheslatta Lake and the trailhead of the historic Cheslatta Trail.

Now a Subsidiary of Cheslatta Carrier Nation, we are combining generations of fishing and hunting knowledge throughout the Ootsa Lake valley to create one of the most unique wilderness experiences in the world.

Back to the Eakin Settlement Road and another fifteen minutes of driving and you will find yourself at the Nechako Reservoir or as the locals call it, Ootsa Lake. Ootsa Lake was flooded in 1952 as part of the Kemano I project that enabled power to be transmitted to the Alcan Aluminum Company of Canada plant in Kitimat. Take time to enjoy the free campground and picnic area adjacent to the turbulent waters of the Spillway. Another junction, another choice! Travelling east over the spillway leads to the historic settlement of Marilla and the roaring waters of the Lower Cheslatta Falls. Travel west along the Ootsa Lake Road, past historic ranches with sweeping views of Tweedsmuir Provincial Park until, you guessed it – another junction. Head back to the Southbank ferry terminal by getting back on Keefe’s Landing Road or continue along Ootsa Lake Road (back to pavement) to the settlements of Streatham and Wistaria – so many beautiful sights along the way!

Welcome to Takysie Lake “Your Destination Vacation Resort” We boast almost 3000’ of lakeshore, 9 cabins, 2 lodges, 4 suites, over 40 RV sites and everything you could wish for. Your Hosts, David and Risé Gruen welcome you to Takysie Lake Resort – your destination resort. The name ‘Takysie’ means ‘lake of many fishes’. Even a non-fisherman will appreciate this beautiful lake and the acrobatics and abundance of its Rainbow Trout. Sit by the fire, watch the eagles and listen to the loons. That is all that is required of you when you are here. Takysie Lake has long been a family favourite for everyone from locals to Europeans. Whether you are camping, RV’ing or need accommodations, you can find it all at Takysie Lake Resort. We invite you to enjoy this beautiful part of British Columbia and have an experience that will keep you coming back year after year like so many of our “regulars”!

TWEEDSMUIR PROVINCIAL PARK

Tweedsmuir Park, British Columbia’s largest park, located south of Burns Lake, is one of B.C.’s most impressive preserves. Its 989,616 hectares include some of the most stunning scenery in Northern B.C., a fascinating array of pristine lakes, snow-capped mountains and ancient forest that won’t easily be forgotten. Moose, grizzly bear, caribou and several species of small game call it home, and its lakes abound with trophy-size rainbow trout. Established in the 1930s, the park was named in honour of Lord Tweedsmuir, Canada’s fifteenth Governor General. The Lord and Lady visited the park in August 1937, and subsequently described it as one of the most beautiful places on earth - something local residents have long known.

Keep in mind that a Tweedsmuir Park adventure requires you to be completely self-sufficient, since there are no supplies of any kind available within the park. A highly recommended option is to travel with a professional guide, who will know all the best places to visit, as well as the rules and regulations of the park. First Nations traditions are also infused throughout the park. Eutsuk Lake derives its name from the Ulkatcho Carrier dialect. As well, a number of waterways have been named after Father Adrien Gabriel Morice, who surveyed and mapped the park in the late 19th century. This northern jewel is accessible by float plane and boat. For more information contact the Burns Lake Visitor Centre at (250) 692-3773.

FIRST NATIONS... HISTORY, CULTURE & LEGEND

MUSEUMS, GALLERIES & CULTURAL ATTRACTIONS.

The history of Burns Lake is rich in First Nations history, culture, and legend. Today Burns Lake is home to six First Nation bands - Cheslatta Carrier Nation, Lake Babine Nation, Burns Lake Band, Wet’suwet’en, Nee-Tahi-Buhn Band, and Skin Tyee. First Nations lived in the Lakes District as hunters and gatherers. Living from the land, the first inhabitants of this land have many traditions that have carried through today. The societies of First Nations in this area were historically matriarchal societies. Their social and economic structure is, and has always been, centered around the potlatch, an important celebration held at major events, such as births, marriages, and deaths. Potlatches were historically an important economic, political, and social organization. Today, it remains an important aspect of the First Nation culture. Burns Lake joins annually to celebrate this heritage on National Indigenous Peoples Day. This day is held in recognition of the important contributions that First Nations people have made in our community and society. The day kicks off with a parade, featuring elders, dancers, and drummers each wearing beautifully handcrafted regalia.

SALMON FISHING FOR LAKE BABINE NATION Over one million salmon are expected to return to Babine River spawning beds this year. For centuries, Lake Babine Nation (LBN) has relied upon salmon for food and trade. Salmon has played a central role in the lives of the LBN people. They dried or smoked sockeye in vast quantities for self sustenance over the winter months. Sockeye was also a source of income. It was traded or sold to other First Nation groups and also to the Hudson’s Bay Company. In 1906, the Canadian government banned LBN’s traditional fisheries and their weir was torn down. Chief Michell and Chief Williams, accompanied by a Jesuit priest, travelled to Ottawa to settle the matter. The Chiefs arrived in Ottawa in October 1906, and by November, they had a treaty with the government allowing them to manage their own fisheries. However, to this day the government say no treaty exists, but the LBN people know there is one. The salmon are caught at both Michell Bay at Tachet and at the LBN fish weir and are sold to locals, visitors and provincial buyers. Most of the salmon are destined for Vancouver. However, Lake Babine Nation markets its sockeye all over the world. Catching salmon at Tachet requires a licence from DFO; fishing at the weir also involves leasing licences. The number of salmon return varies each year. Depending on the number of fish returning, salmon are sold to the public by LBN for $10 per fish. The spring salmon vary in size from 12 to 20 pounds. For more information, please call Lake Babine Nation at 250-692-4700.

EVENTS AROUND TOWN

Dog Show

1000 Yard Shoot

The Lakes District Kennel Club’s dog show is held every year on the first weekend in May at the Tom Forsyth Memorial Arena. The event brings dogs and their owners from across B.C. and Alberta to town. The show is held Saturday and Sunday. For more information contact Janet Caird at 250 847-4816 or caird1@telus.net.

In 1974 the first 1000 yard shoot originated from a bet between four guys. One guy stating that a British 303 rifle, with iron sights and factory ammunition could be used to hit a target at 1000 yards. The others strongly disagreed, saying that a 303 couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn door.

Mud Bog

Show & Shine

The Annual Mud Bog is held every May long weekend at Grassy Plains Hall and takes place rain or shine. Winners are determined by People’s Choice ballot. Lots of fun activities, Children’s Fun Run as well and full concession on the grounds. For more information email: grassyplainshall@gmail.com or phone 1-250-220-6087.

The shooter persuaded a couple of local gun enthusiasts into setting up a 303 rifle. After testing several 303s, one was selected and equipped with a good aperture sight. Five boxes of ammunition later, the rifle was sighted in and finally ready to go. In the early spring of 1975 the first 1000 yard shoot took place on Decker Lake. The 1000 yard shoot has continued ever since. Over the years the range has changed from various places in the area, to a permanent approved range at the Tweedsmuir Park Rod & Gun Club in Burns Lake, B.C. In 1998 after completing the building of the range, it was named the “Thompson & Waldron Range” in honour of the two shooters who spent years getting permission to build the range. This year will be the Tweedsmuir Park Rod & Gun Club’s 43rd Annual 1000 Yard Shoot held May 26 and 27, 2018. For further information call Dallas at (250) 696-3133 or email: trg1000yrd@hotmail.com

WINTER EVENTS: COLD SMOKE

LAKES DISTRICT FALL FAIR

The 75th Lakes District Fall Fair will be held September 7-9 at the Eagle Creek Fairgrounds. Preparations are underway once again to make this year’s fair activities just as exciting as they have been in the past with something for everyone. Music will be playing, the exhibit hall will be a buzz with entries from home-made breads and pies, preserves a-plenty and vegetables fit for royalty. Be sure to check out the amazing photo entries. The heavy horses will be returning along with the stock dogs, the livestock show, gymkhana, logger sports and all the old favourites.

For high-octane entertainment in the middle of a Burns Lake winter, nothing beats the annual Cold Smoke snowmobile drag racing event held in February at the Burns Lake Snowmobile Club racing grounds just north on Babine Road.

For more information please look at ldfallfair.com or like us on Facebook. The Fall Fair thanks the community for their continued support remember - It’s a “Family-A-Fair”. See you in September!

For more information on Cold Smoke or the Burns Lake Snowmobile Club call Bill Bueckert at 250-6926612 or Dennis Firomski at 250-692-6438.

Once a year, sledders from across the province meet in Burns Lake to test their machines - and their nerve - as they launch super-charged machines down a 500 foot track in front of enthusiastic fans. Last year, racers broke speeds of over 160 km/hr over the one-day event. The one-day format gives an exciting edge to the day, with all placings being determined before the day is out. Crowds can enjoy a warming tent and a fantastic concession provided by the Burns Lake Rotary Club.

CROSS COUNTRY SKIING AND SNOWSHOEING Omineca Ski Club is one of the oldest ski clubs in Canada, founded by Scandinavian settlers in 1927. This breath taking expanse of groomed trail lies just south of Burns Lake on Highway 35 with a marked entrance. The rolling terrain that branches out from the central lodge and wax cabin offers an incredible ski for any level of skier. At night, the 3 km lighted trail is a huge bonus for members who arrive after dark. The club’s most popular trail is Aidan’s Dog Trail which offers a magical opportunity where skier and dog can move together on a 4 km loop. We have a world class biathlon range which is the central hub for numerous events through out the year. Snowshoeing can be enjoyed on any of the groomed trails or head off onto a snowshoe specific single track that wind into the forest and back out onto the ski routes. Whether you are a complete novice to the sport or a seasoned Olympic veteran, Omineca Ski Club has something great for you. For the rest of the year, the trails are excellent for horse back riding, mountain biking, hiking, berry picking, and wildlife watching.

WELCOME TO GRANISLE

Distance Chart from Burns Lake to:

Come visit Granisle overlooking beautiful Babine Lake

he picturesque Lakeside Village of Granisle is located on the shores of beautiful Babine Lake. This is B.C.’s longest natural lake measuring in at over 177 km long. Granisle is located just north of Topley and West of Burns Lake. Turning at the Highway 118 junction, travelers will enjoy a 49 km drive of beautiful countryside and scenery. Moose and bear are just a few of the animals that frequent this roadway.

A few kilometers before reaching Granisle you will see the world’s largest salmon spawning channels located on the Fulton River. Along with salmon, you may be fortunate enough to get a glimpse of a bald eagle or grizzly bear feeding at the river. Whatever the season, the beauty and recreational opportunities of Granisle and the surrounding countryside keep visitors returning year after year. A large timber frame building, housing the Granisle Tourist Information Centre, greets visitors as they enter the community. The Granisle and Area Museum, also located within the Tourist Information Centre offers visitors a step back in time with historical artifacts from the area including the prized replica bones of a Columbia Mammoth, dating back 34,000 years, originally uncovered at the nearby Noranda Bell Copper Mine. Volcanoes, mammoths, trading posts, pictographs, mining for gold, silver and copper – this area is as rich in history as it is in natural beauty.

Recurring Events in our area include...

Rainbow trout and char make Babine Lake an angler’s paradise year round and sockeye salmon, which return here to spawn from late summer to early fall, are truly legendary. Up to 70 per cent of the salmon from the Skeena River system originate in Babine Lake and the spawning channels at its local tributary, the Fulton River. Every year, millions of sockeye hatch at this, the world’s largest man-made spawning channel. They migrate to the ocean via the Babine and Skeena Rivers, and three to five years later, about half a million return to spawn. From late summer to early fall, the water blushes with spawning salmon-delighting all salmon-lovers, including bears, eagles and humans.

Granisle Dart Club Open Dart Tournament: June 2018

Cutthroat, Steelhead, and Rainbow Trout also abound in Babine Lake as do Coho salmon, Burbot (ling cod), Lake and Mountain Whitefish. Don’t miss the popular Father’s Day Derby in June! Bait, licenses and tackle are available at Granisle General Store and major lodges. For an updated list of resorts and lodges please visit our website at www. granisle.ca. For B.C.’s fishing and hunting regulations please visit www.env.gov.bc.ca. Healthy populations of moose, deer, bear, and mountain goat also make the Central Babine a popular hunting destination. Trust a qualified local guide to unlock the bounty of the Babine for you. This region is where the real attractions west of Prince George can be seen. Granisle is a recreational community which is accessible by the only paved road into Babine Lake. Granisle offers an array of services including a Post Office, an RCMP Station, a Public Library, and Elementary and Secondary School, and a Medical Centre with BC Ambulance Service. Accommodation, gasoline, and groceries are also available. Our Tourist Information Centre is open May through September and provides internet availability, laundry, washroom & shower facilities, campsite rentals for New Beach Campground as well as the sani-dump. There is local shopping available as Granisle plays host to many artisans. Local shopping opportunities can be found at www.lovegranisle.com or the Granisle Crafter’s Hut, located in the Visitor Information Centre from May until September.
