The best camping near Burke Lake Recreation Area guide

Overview

About

Get a little break from the prairie and spice things up with a visit to Burke Lake Recreation Area. The star of this charming park is the 25-acre lake which is surrounded by trees, wildflowers, and prairie grass, making it a storybook setting for wildlife sightings and for that dreamy afternoon picnic. It is also a sweet place to bring the boat or canoe for some paddling or fishing action. The lake level averages only eight feet deep, so small boats are king here. Reel in some pike, bass, perch, bluegill, and bullheads, and then mosey over to the small campsite for a sleep under the stars in this oasis on the prairie.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Burke Lake Recreation Area is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer months bring warmth and a bustling park atmosphere, but also larger crowds. Winters can be brisk, so if you prefer a quieter, more reflective visit, this could be the time for you.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
  • Be aware of park hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, and plan your activities within this timeframe.
  • Remember to pack essentials like water, sunscreen, and insect repellent for a comfortable outing.
  • Stay informed about any trail closures or area restrictions that may be in effect during your visit.
  • Accessibility options are available; contact the park's customer service for specific details to accommodate your needs.
