Burke Lake Park is an absolute gem! The serene lake, beautiful walking trails, and well-maintained picnic spots make it a perfect getaway from the city's hustle. Whether you're into hiking, fishing, kayaking, or just relaxing by the water, this park has something for everyone. The scenic 4.7-mile trail around the lake is great for both casual walks and serious runs, offering stunning views throughout. The mini-train ride and carousel add a fun touch for families, and the golf course is a nice bonus for those who enjoy the sport. Everything is clean, well-kept, and peaceful—making it an ideal spot for a weekend outing. Highly recommend for nature lovers and anyone looking to unwind outdoors!

On a perfect day, Burke Lake is simply beautiful. I especially love visiting during spring and summer, when the trees are lush and the water views are stunning. The trail around the lake is an easy, leveled walk, making it perfect for a relaxing outing or a casual stroll. In winter, however, the landscape can feel dry and a bit dull, so I recommend saving your visits for the warmer, greener months. Overall, it’s a peaceful, scenic spot that's perfect for a laid-back outdoor escape.

Free for county residents. This is a beautiful lake. 888 acres. 5 miles of hiking trails around the lake. Hardwoods. Blue heron, geese, ducks. Two docks, one for launching boats, one for fishing/ walking. Kayak or canoe rentals. $17.50 for half day kayak, $16 canoe. Weekends only, opens at 11:00 a.m. closest at 6:00. Half a day is 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Apparently they have camping too I didn't see any. It's really pretty there. We went in the evening, just before dusk.
