Burton Lake

Burton Lake is a small incredibly round stocked lake located 7.5km N of Humboldt. Highway 20 curves around the lake and follows the shore.

There are a few unmarked pull-offs from the highway with access to the lake. Be careful when pulling off and on the highway, there can be a bit of a drop! Another access on the south end of the lake has a bit of a parking lot. No boat launch on the lake, but it should be possible to launch a small boat or canoe/kayak.

The lake is periodically stocked with Walleye Fry. You'll find Northern Pike, Yellow Perch, Walleye, and Common Carp in the lake.

This is not the prettiest lake out there, but it's nicely located just off the highway and is a decent fishing or paddling destination without travelling too far! It's also one of the farthest north locations where you're able to fish for Carp.

This lake has been personally visited by myself, Matthew Siemens.
