Burnt Village County Park offers an improved boat launch and handicapped-accessible canoe/kayak launch on the lower Bark River, making it a popular access point for small boats, canoes, and kayaks as well as shore fishing.

The 2-acre park features a seasonal restroom (May-October), picnic table, and gravel parking area.

The site is also historically significant as a former Native American village and Federal Soldier encampment during the 1832 Blackhawk War, with multiple paddling trip options available upstream and downstream.
