Both the fishing bulkheads and the fishing pier are accessible to disabled persons. A 4.68 trail surrounds the lake starting at the marina parking lot. The lake also features Muskie, Walleye, Black Crappie, Catfish, White and Yellow Perch, and a variety of Bluegill and Sunfish. Anyone of age 16 and up and has a fishing license can try his/her luck at Burke Lake.
