Burger’s Lake

In Texas, it’s safe to say that we tend to spend more time in the water than not during the notoriously hotter months of the year. Spending Labor Day at the lake offers the perfect blend of relaxation and outdoor fun. Burger’s Lake itself is fed by its own aquifer, Sand Springs, and is filtered by two 100 horsepower pumps with a sand filter, ozone generator and gas chlorine. With wading areas, diving boards, water slides, grills and a local snack bar, it’s the perfect spot for your family to hunker down and have a fun Labor Day!

Location 1200 Meandering Road, Fort Worth
