Beautiful place with many walking trails nearby. Right beside the dam, you can see chum and coho salmon spawning during the fall. The best time to see spawning salmon is from early October through November. Blue herons and many species of waterfowl can be seen year round.

My favourite part of the Burnaby Lake Loop. You can spot Canadian geese and duck here regularly. Turtles will nest here in the grass here (and often outside the designated and fenced off section). The steps up to the Dam crossing are not great for small dogs. Their feet may be too small and slip through. My dog wont even attempt the stairs and needs to be carried up them.

This dam regulates the water level in Burnaby Lake. As a bonus, it allows pedestrians to cross to the other side, and it makes a good lookout point.

Love riding my bicycle thru hear. Especially on the north side trail, so scenic.

A nice place to unwind and recharge your depleted inner battery and check the Salmon Run spawning season from Octuber thru December.

The dam is part of the trail system that hugs the shores of Burnaby Lake. Despite being a stone throw away from the roadways, we seldom heard much noise. The small dam is also a bridge. But the lake upstream is very still and peaceful. I found the gurgling of the water downstream is very soothing. It is a good spot to spend a few quiet moments. Joggers and strollers are the only distraction. Either side of the dam, much of the trails are lined by trees providing shelter from the sun. The paths are mostly level so the walk is easy. It was just after rain when we last walked the western end of the trails where the dam is. There were many slugs so we had to be careful not to step on them. It was pleasing to see such healthy nature amidst the urban build-up.
