Across America, the word is out: Burke Lake Park has one of the 10 best fitness trails in the nation. That’s the assessment of the American Hiking Society, whose trail specialists searched for top candidates in or near major metropolitan areas that:
- Are close enough to use before or after work or on lunch breaks
- Have portions that can be completed in 60 to 90 minutes
Just 25 minutes from Washington, D.C., the Burke Lake Loop Trail:
- Follows the shoreline 4.7 miles around the lake
- Passes bays that branch off the main body of water, creating a sense of solitude
- Is surfaced with gravel for most of its length
- Is a good choice for a brisk walk or a run
- Is also suitable for biking
