The lake was named by Colonel Richard Moody, the first Lieuteneant-Governor of the Colony of British Columbia, after his secretary Robert Burnaby. The lake has a surface area of 3.11 km<sup>2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>The area is frequented by a great variety of bird species such as the Great Blue Heron, the Green Heron, bald eagles, and osprey.\u00a0 Unfortunately, I only saw various types of ducks during my visit. Aside from birdwatching, the park has many kilometres of walking and hiking trails circling the entire lake.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_185\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-185\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Burnaby-Lake-Canoe.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-185\" src=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Burnaby-Lake-Canoe.jpg\" alt=\"Canoeing is a popular activity in Burnaby Lake Park, B.C.\" width=\"800\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Burnaby-Lake-Canoe.jpg 800w, https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Burnaby-Lake-Canoe-624x418.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-185\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Canoeing is a popular activity in Burnaby Lake Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Canoeing and kayaking are also very popular.
