[2024 Burnaby Attraction] Travel Guide for Burnaby Village Museum (Updated Sep)

Best place to see maple leaves in Vancouver (3).

Deer Lake in Burnaby is a popular place to see maple leaves. Every year in early October, the streets and museums around Deer Lake are crowded with people taking photos. At this time, the leaves are the most colorful, with golden, orange and dark red scenes intertwined, which is very spectacular, and complements the old buildings, iron railings and grass. The best time to see autumn at Deer Lake Park Trail and the lakeside viewing platform is a bit later, usually in mid to late October. You can stroll along the trail and enjoy the colorful trees and surrounding natural scenery reflected on the water. The open grassland around the lake is an excellent place to enjoy the tree canopy and the background of the distant mountains, suitable for taking photos or picnics. The main tree species here are: - Maple Trees: These trees turn golden, orange and dark red in autumn, which is particularly eye-catching. - Oak Trees: The leaves of oak trees will turn orange or dark red, adding a sense of color. - Western Red Cedar: These trees are green all year round, providing a beautiful contrast to the autumn red leaves. - Willow Trees: The willows by the lake will show a soft golden color with the change of autumn, which is very beautiful reflected in the lake. Deer Lake is a quiet nature reserve. The autumn scenery is fascinating and is especially suitable for walking, photography and enjoying the quiet natural time.
