Burke Lake Public Access

The hike to dusty lake is moderate with a couple small rock ledges. After leaving the parking lot, one can use the bridge to cross the creek under the trees. The trail parallels the creek a half mile to east end of the lake. Shore access is extremely limited on the west side of the lake. If its summer who cares since your ass will be in some of the clearest water in E. Wa. The west of the lake can also be reach in a longer hike starting a ancient lakes or on the gorge amphitheater trail.

There is no sign for hiking trail. It is confusing. But it worth it.

We used the trailhead for a short hike and picnic. It was ok, well worn and lots of broken glass. It felt reasonably safe to leave the car, but looks to be a party zone at times.
