Life and Times of Burk's Falls
Welcome to Burk's Falls

Burk's Falls was first settled by loggers during the 1860's. One of these settlers was David Francis Burk of Oshawa, who beached his canoe at the foot of the falls on the beautiful Magnetawan River in the autumn of 1875. He chose his land under the Free Land Grant Act. Mr. Burk and Mr. Knight, who had arrived about the same time, made what might have been the first governmental decision in the village, they flipped a coin, and the settlement became known as Burk's Falls.
