Lake Burwain

Lake Burwain formerly Foulridge Lower Reservoir started out as Canal Reservoir, one of two local reservoirs used to top up water in the canal just off the western shore of the lake.

Interestingly, “Burwains” was a homestead in the fields to the north of Canal Reservoir - roughly where Pasture Drive is today. While Burwain (the modern-day sailing club) is located on the western bank of the lake, on the site of an old boat house beside Reedy Moor.
