Rated 4.5 out of 5 Star Rating

4 Star Rating Beautiful park in the city! The trail around the lake is flat but long… almost 10k to do the whole thing. Lots of points of interest… bird feeding/watching, equestrian, model plane flying, boat club, soccer, and so on. Plenty of parking space available.

5 Star Rating I came the other day on a gravel bicycle ride. I have always wanted to ride the south rim of the park by bicycle and I finally got the chance. Burnaby Lake is a beautiful park with lots of trails perfect for walking, horseback riding and cycling. A wonderful slice of nature in the heart of burnaby. The noise from the highway is not too bad and the trails are well maintained. 100% would ride again. On my favourite list.
