The Berkshire mountain city of Pittsfield owns and manages Burbank Park on the eastern shore of the vast, blue Onota Lake. The 153-acre public park is open year-round, and it has a swimming beach (with lifeguards in July and August), a fishing pier, boat launch, picnic groves with grills, and a walking path along the lake. Visitors may rent motor boats, canoes, and kayaks. Fishing is popular here, and fishing derbies are held year-round.
