Burton is a quiet place to camp, paddle, swim, fish
and enjoy nature. The Burton lakeside campground
has spectacular views of several creek valleys. Marvel
at the vast estuary that forms where these creeks
empty into the lake, attracting shorebirds to the
mudflats at low water. Enjoy the fall fair at the end
of August and May Days festivities on the May long
weekend. As you wander around the village, you’ll
find a playground at the school, a community park
with a sports field and roller rink, equestrian grounds,
a marina and boat launch, a sandy beach, and a
hiking trail from the campgrounds to the old townsite.

Edgewood
Trout Lake
Edgewood is a friendly village surrounded by farmland
and forest. The main attraction is the park and
campground nestled beside the water. Fishing is a
big draw: try for giant Gerrard trout in Lower Arrow
Lake. Taste local farm produce at the farmer’s market
every second Saturday morning in summer. A network
of logging roads can be used as trails. Check out
Inonoaklin Falls at the foot of Inonoaklin Valley Rd.
Thousands of hectares of deep snow make Trout Lake
area among the world’s best locales for backcountry
skiing, snow/noboarding and snowmobiling. Other
attractions are fishing, quadding and Silver Cup Ridge
trail network. Launch your boat at the waterfront
campground, admire the beautifully restored Windsor
Hotel (built in the 1890s) and the general store’s unique
pair of old-fashioned gravity-fed gas tanks with seethrough chambers. Great fishing at Trout, Armstrong
and Staubert lakes. Watch the largest trout in the
world, Gerrard rainbows, spawn mid-April to mid-May
from the platform in Goat Range Park. See how many
people it takes to wrap your arms around the massive
cedars and hemlocks in the Incomappleux River valley,
the jewel in the crown of the globally unique Inland
Temperate Rainforest.

Halcyon Hot Springs is a developing community
around the historical hot springs site, which was
first developed in 1893. Beautifully spread along the
shoreline of the Arrow Lake, the community consists
of the hot springs resort and pools, land developments
and private cottages. The view from Halcyon across
the lake towards the towering peaks of the Monashee
Mountains is breathtaking.
