According to the Lakes Outdoor Recreation Society (LORS), 18 recreation sites within the Lakes District area currently do not have enough funding for proper annual upgrading or maintenance.

The organization has maintained 28 recreation sites and two provincial parks within the Lakes District since 2002.

Lynn Synotte, LORS president, said that in the past two years both the Burns Lake Community Forest and Chinook Community Forest have been instrumental in the upgrades of 10 sites that fall within their tenured borders.
