Reviews of Bill Burton Fishing Pier State Park
"Great little place with awesome scenery. The pier(old bridge) is permanently closed so that has great affected the amount of people here. However you pretty much could have the park to yourself at the right day and time."
"Nice picnic area. Good water access. Short well defined trail. Pier looks good for fishing. Good parking and port-o-potties"
"It was a great experience for the family. It was our kids first time using fishing poles of their own, but unfortunately today very little fish. We were there for about 5 hours, had home packed lunch and made some friends. We will definitely be back to fish and new experiences."
"Beautiful place. Has a little beach area and park. Caught a few fish!"
"Nice long pier, around a mile long. Lots of trails to sightsee . Cookout area with grills & tables. 24hrs . Free parking. Seen lots of crabs in the rocks. Caught Catfish & brown toad fish. Edit--- pier is currently not 24hrs. Waiting for new lighting installation to return to 24hr status."
