 LAKES
DISTRICT TOUR
2 or more days (departing from Prince George)
Pack
your fishing pole, an extra big lunch and a sense
of adventure because once in the "Land of a Thousand
Lakes" you won't want to return home. Begin by
picking up a few good maps at the BC Forest
District Offices or the Visitor Information Centre
in Burns
Lake.
Burns
Lake is situated on Highway 16, deep
in the region of Northern
BC. From Prince
George, travel west on Highway 16 to
Burns Lake (226 km/141 miles). Head south to the Southbank
Ferry (23 km/14 miles). Turn east for a tour along
the resort shores of Francois Lake.
