Discover Burt Lake in Armstrong

A lake formed by the glaciers, Burt lake sits on the Iowa-Minnesota border north and west of Swea City, Iowa.  It offers camping with electrical hookups and pit latrines, hunting, fishing, hiking, and picnicking. It is 145 acres.


Click here for a Youtube video by " Watchable Wildlife of NW Iowa" featuring Burt Lake. This video was taken while the barn was still standing.  An open shelter now stands in its place.
