Burt Lake is at the heart of the Inland Waterway, a series of navigable rivers and lakes that stretch for 38 miles from Crooked Lake to Lake Huron.
Shoreline fishing is available on the northern boundry of the park along the Sturgeon River. Walleye, trout, bass, bluegill, perch, pike and other species of pan fish can be found in Burt Lake.
My family has been coming here for 40 years and with every generation it just keeps getting better. You CANNOT beat the beach....or really anything about this park. The near by attractions. A grocery store right around the corner. The crystal clear water or the sand...you will never feel sand like it!!!
