Lake of the Day

The lake of the day for November 20, 2024 is Burtlein Lake.

Burtlein Lake is a very pretty, tiny stocked trout lake in Narrow Hills Provincial Park. The lake is at the north end of the park just south of Sealey Lake. Burtlein Lake is accessible off the Hanson Lake Road. There is a pull-off along the highway but no sign so keep your eyes open.

The lake is frequently stocked with both Tiger Trout and Splake. There is a launch site for boats/canoes accessible at the end of a trail from the highway. Please note there is a Max 5hp motor restriction on the lake.

Like many of the lakes along the highway be prepared to find a lot of garbage and even human waste at the start of the trail, I'd recommend not wearing flip-flops. Once you get further down the trail though you'll be rewarded with a very quiet, and pretty little lake. It's a great spot for a paddle or to try and get some trout.

Have you made it down to Burtlein Lake? What did you think?

Late September trip to Meadow Lake Provincial Park

I closed off September with a quick trip up to the Meadow Lake Provincial Park. I was able to sneak in on the last two days that the Greig Lake Campground was open. I haven't been to the park in years, and even then have only visited a handful of the many lakes that are available.
