Argo: "Gaidin53: "PP has a picture somebody put in on the west side of that lake. Problem is I’m not always sure the picture is actually taken from where it is placed on the map. If it is actually from that area that looks like a possibly decent campsite. You can’t really tell for sure though and it’s a pretty small island. This is our first time in this area of the park. Where we normally go, in mid to late August, we paddle for 10 days without seeing another canoe. I am guessing that we will see less traffic on the west side than the east side, that's all. To sit in camp and watch canoes peddling by would be a real bummer for our crew. Thanks for the input. P |

The red flag on the island is a great site period and has ample hanging locations for hammocks. I don't know about the west side of the lake and I'm not sure why it's a destination target of over the east side. You could camp anywhere on Burnside and see the whole lake when fishing. Lots of bass and like. Probably walleye too but none the day we were there. |

I’d assume Burntside is a lake people traverse to get to Sturgeon lake as part of a loop or one way route. I certainly can see how I would link it into a nice route. If the southern entries are still closed on my loop I’m sure we’ll still see a couple of other groups that are doing the long trip like us. Certainly won’t ruin my trip and I’ll enjoy conversing with them if we cross paths. I know even last year when it was only Canadians some of the YouTubers like Fisherman Boyle and Kevin Ride ran into a few other groups. I think they actually ran into each other but didn’t show it in video or speak of it. Ryan |

They don’t have anything reviewed for the west side. Ryan |
