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.

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

Really pretty little stocked lake, the access to the lake is not signed so very easy to miss. People have also been using the start of the path to the lake as a bathroom which is pretty nasty. I'd wear shoes if you're heading down!

These maps were produced by the government a long time ago, using primitive methods. They are not intended for navigation and should not be expected to be accurate.

Lake access parking

Pull off from the highway. The trail to the lake starts here. It's pretty full of garbage, and people have been using the start of the trail as a toilet. Watch your step!
