Confirmed from Burrell Lake 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.
Local park providing a playground, fishing, picnic pavilions, and paved and dirt trails.

“Its a great place to go take your pup for a little nature walk just follow the rules have control of your Dog and enjoy the quiet atmosphere”
My Dog loves walking around the pond he watches the Ducks and to my surprise people want to pet him everybody is cool seeing a huge Pitbull walking around and he loves people! Its a great place to go take your pup for a little nature walk just follow the rules have control of your Dog and enjoy the quiet atmosphere
Nice little park. We went to feed ducks there and there is a "duck guy" there. He feeds them all already. For being so small there are a lot of fishers here and it's very active. Basketball courts, playground, and a nice walkway around the lake with trails off to the sides. Check it out.
Nice little spot set back in the hills away from the highway and shopping centers. Some parking. Some playground equipment for the little ones. A few pavilions for get- togethers & events. There's a flat paved path for strollers and wheelchairs, and some dirt paths for more of a "off road" hiking experience.
It's a nice lake with a lot of room for fishing, walking the circle around the lake, or just relaxing and feeding the ducks. I have heard there are catfish, carp, bluegills, and bass in this lake. Today, my girlfriend was able to catch a small mouth bass. It made our trip here that much more special.
