Nature Trail is a single-track 2 kilometre walking
path within the community of Burns Lake, British Columbia, Canada.
The forested walking path follows a creek connecting the lower
portion of the village with the upper portion of the village.
The walking path starts from a gravel parking lot
on Centre Street just before a bridge located between 5th and
7th Avenue. Some say there is another trailhead to the Eveneshen
Nature Trail at the corner of 6th Avenue and Hwy 16 near the museum.
The gravel and hard-packed earthy trail explores
the forest, crisscrossing back and forth over Saul Creek via wooden
bridges. The trail is named after a respected local named George
Eveneshen. His sons and many local associations helped complete
what George started and in 1991 the trail was open for adventure.
Along the trail are sitting benches and some picnic
tables to enhance the creek views. Just after the foot bridge
over Saul Creek near the top of the Eveneshen Trail is a picnic
area and some outhouses. It is also near the location of another
dedicated trail.
The Eveneshen Nature Trail eventually connects
into the trail system exploring the wetlands of the Rod
Reid Nature Park. A birdwatching park with a trail looping
around Loch Lomond (the central pond) leading to a couple viewing
platforms.
