Confirmed from Bur-Mil Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Outdoor destination features golf, a pool, tennis, trails for hiking & biking in 250 leafy acres.

This is such a nice place to go to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, whether you are walking or jogging, hiking or biking, there is so much here to explore. The facilities and trails are well-maintained. The scenery is beautiful, and the wildlife is abundant. I recommend Bur-Mill Park to everyone.
Great place to go visit and hangout with the family. I went there for a friends daughter birthday, they shelters were nice and clean. I would recommended it, plus it’s right next to the lake if you want to take a look. There are also trails you can use to take a walk or use your bike. Overall I really recommend it.
Beautiful park with a fishing pier, however there is NO bank fishing to Lake Brandt. There is also a small pond with plenty of bank access. Multiple trails around the park as well.
