Burton Creek State Park, Natural recreation area in Tahoe City, United States
The 1,890-acre Burton Creek State Park features six miles of unpaved roadways across mountainous terrain near Lake Tahoe for hiking and cross-country skiing.
California Department of Parks and Recreation established Burton Creek State Park in 1976 to protect the natural landscapes of the Sierra Nevada region.
The park paths allow visitors to observe local wildlife, including numerous bird species, deer, and small mammals that inhabit the woodland and meadow areas.
Burton Creek State Park operates from sunrise to sunset without facilities like water or restrooms, requiring visitors to prepare accordingly for their outdoor activities.
During spring, the park meadows display colorful wildflower collections, while fall brings changes to cottonwood trees against the Jeffrey pine forest backdrop.
