Like an oasis on the prairie, Burke Lake is a 25-acre lake which is surrounded by trees. Whether boating, sailing or canoeing, visitors will enjoy this lake that averages only eight feet in depth. Native and introduced prairie grasses and wildflowers abound in the 206-acre park, and wildlife of all kinds inhabit this unique area.

Located 2 miles east of Burke off US Highway 18, this lake is known for its panfishing. Also expect to snag some Northern pike, largemouth bass, perch, bluegill and bullheads.
