Burnaby Lake is a glacial lake that formed about 12,000 years ago,

 at the end of the Pleistocene ice age.

 

 At least 70 species of birds make the lake and surrounding areas their home,

and about 214 species of birds visit the lake throughout the year.

Burnaby Lake hosts over 400 varieties of plant, bird, fish, mammal,

 reptile and amphibian species. An exceptionally wide variety of birds

 frequent the area, including Great Blue Herons, bald eagles, osprey,

and the Green Heron. Black bears once were common in the area.

Burnaby Now Vegetation such as bladderworts, cattails, bulrush^{[disambiguation needed]}es, and sedges are common around the area,

with deciduous trees around the edge of the marshes. Conifers

occupy the areas furthest from the lake.

The lake is said to act as a settling pond for incoming pollutants from

 Still Creek, thereby protecting the outflowing Brunette River.

 Large amounts of sediment, peat moss, decomposing plants,

and water lilies make the lake unsuitable for swimming.

Because many storm sewers drain to the lake and the Brunette River,

the Cariboo Dam at Brunette River controls the rate of water outflow

 to prevent flooding downstream during times of heavy rain.
