Burke
7315 Ox Road, Fairfax Station, VA 22039
The 4.7-mile shoreline loop is mostly gravel and supports walking, running and biking. Bays along the route create a longer nature outing than the park’s activity area.
Choose a turnaround if the full distance is too much. The park is in Fairfax Station; use its Ox Road entrance rather than expecting a trailhead in central Burke.

7315 Ox Road, Fairfax Station, VA 22039
Seasonal rides, mini golf and other park activities offer a different outing from a full lake circuit. Families can choose an attraction and a short walk.
Rides and rentals have separate seasons and charges. The Shelter A and Ice Cream Parlor playgrounds are closed for renovation, with completion expected in December 2026 and February 2027 respectively. Check current alerts before visiting; non-county vehicles incur entrance fees on weekends and holidays, April–late October.

Walk a quieter lake edge or the short paved dam section. This is a small, low-facility outing rather than an attraction-filled park.
There is no complete public loop. Parking is limited at the end of Fireside Court; none is provided at the Zion Drive trail entrance. Stay off adjoining private property.
