From riding on the miniature train or carousel to testing your skills on the mini-golf or disc golf courses, picnicking, taking in the sights from the tour boat, indulging in a scoop of ice cream, fishing, boating, biking, camping, or taking a walk around the 4.7 mile lake trail, Burke Lake is an ideal location for your family holiday.

Fitness Trails

Burke Lake Park has one of the ten best fitness trails in the country. The Burke Lake Loop Trail follows the shoreline 4.7 miles around the lake. It has bays jutting out from the main body of water. This bay provides a welcome sense of solitude. Gravel is surfaced for most of the length of Burke Lake Loop Trail. It is a fine choice for either a brisk walk or a run. It’s also suitable for biking.

Fishing

Burke Lake Park's main attraction is a 218-acre lake with 5.25 miles of fishing shoreline, a new fishing pier, a boat launching dock and four fishing bulkheads at the state game area. 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.

Ice Cream Parlor

The ice cream parlor is stocked with a variety of delicious Hershey’s Ice Cream flavors, snack, and drink items. With a shelter nearby, this ice cream parlor is the perfect place to have a birthday party or other small gathering. It is located near the train station, mini-golf, and a playground.
