Beautiful park for four seasons. Our regular spot for nice walk
and relaxing.
and relaxing.
Great park with lots of things to do. Train rides and mini golf for the kids, plus several playgrounds and an ice cream parlor. The walk around the lake is 4 and 1/2 mi, and a great trail.
One my favorite parks in NOVA; there are so many trailheads to start your hike around the lake, ample parking, and phenomenal views.
We love burke lake. We camp here, fish, kayak, hike. This past year has been a little different. Some of the amenities we are used to have been in disrepair or are not being used/open. The train has been broken a couple of times and the campground store is no longer open. Bit burke lake is still a great way to escape the suburban life for a little bit.
What a lovely place to visit! We went to see the Marina and the ice cream parlor area. Both are well maintained areas. Parking was a bit of a challenge at the Marina, we came at 9 am on Saturday. We will come again for the hiking/nature trail
It’s a gorgeous park. Out of state cars would be charged $12 per the sign but it was free when I went. I think for VA resident it’s free
Very dog friendly. The trail is not crowded but very well frequented which is great as I have had to pass on sparse trails out of safety :(
I followed Apple Maps to get back to my car after passing the shelters. I really wasn’t sure how to return. That was a big mistake as it directed me out the park and to follow the path along the road. I feel so silly following it Vs just asking someone
I do wish it were more signs in the park directing you to parking, shelters etc or even more maps saying you are here and showing where you need to go

Beautiful park with clean picnic areas, washrooms and ample parking. The 5mi round trip trail around the lake is picturesque and relaxing. The trail meanders along the lake shoreline and offers some of the best views of the lake from multiple angles.
We covered the full trail in little more than an hour and half.
Would revisit for picnic. Highly recommended.
