The park is situated on the Niagara Escarpment on over 551 acres of land encompassing five separate lakes, which lends itself to beautiful scenic views. Clyde L. Burmaster Park is a nature-based facility but also offers a variety of different recreational activities for year-round use.
  
Clyde L. Burmaster Park provides the residents of Niagara County with a unique summer experience. The five lakes located throughout the park are perfect for a casual day of fishing. Four large shelters and picnic tables positioned about in various locations are provided for anyone wishing to have a picnic and relax around the main lake. These shelters are available for reservation.  The 13 miles of cross-country trails are maintained by our staff and used during the summer months for hiking, bird watching, and biking. NEW to the park this year is a challenging 18-hole Disc Golf course!
