Features: Bridges and boardwalks keep your boots dry on this trail. Watch for birds, waterfowl and lakeshore mammals along the trail. You may see moose, deer or bear. Let bears know you are near by making noise. Spruce and pine trees shade many plants traditionally used for food and medicine. You may need to carry mosquito repellant.
There are two unmanaged tenting areas, one at each end of the lake. Be sure to pack out all garbage. The Star Lake trail is maintained by Burns Lake Community Forest Ltd. Thanks to their staff for the photos and information. |
