Located in the middle of the city, Burnaby Lake Regional Park is a stunning wildlife sanctuary. The lake was created by a glacier 12,000 years ago and its shores were home to sawmills in the late 1800's. Birdwatching is superb. Look for great blue herons, bald eagles, belted kingfishers and osprey. You might even spot rarer birds such as the green-backed heron. Burnaby Parks page
