Burton Creek State Park Details
Ideal for year-round adventure, this park is located near one of the busiest outdoor recreation areas in California - Tahoe City! However, it still remains a hidden gem, rarely visited by the throngs of tourists to come to see the lake. The park contains over six miles of unpaved trails, suitable for hiking and mountain biking in the warmer months. Spring also brings the vibrantly colored wildflower fields, while the conifer trees attract leaf peepers during autumn. And when it starts to snow, cross-country skiing is also possible, although it is more challenging and rugged compared to the other sides of the Tahoe Basin.
