Burke Lake Boating

Come paddle around on our 218-acre lake! You can rent a boat from us or bring your own. At our bait house, you can rent a rowboat, a canoe, a motorboat (a rowboat equipped with an electric trolling motor attached to a battery on the back), or a fishing kayak. To be eligible to rent a boat, an individual must be 16 years or older, possess a photo ID, and must be aboard the rental boat at all times. Three persons maximum on all boats. Pets are not permitted on rental or our tour boat.

Please note:

Use of kayaks, unless used for fishing, are prohibited in Burke Lake from either access. Privately owned boats with electric motors are permitted on the lake. No gasoline powered water-craft are permitted. Inflated boats may be used on the lake, provided they have a minimum of three separate air chambers. A Personal Flotation Device (PFD) is required for each person on the water. One Type IV throw able device is required in each boat. All boats launched will pay a $5.00 launch fee. The charge for launching your boat is only in effect when the bait house is open between the months of April through October. Kayaks, unless used for fishing, are prohibited in Burke Lake from either access.
