The construction of the dam was completed in 1937, and where the village of Burnhope once stood, it is now submerged under the water. You can enjoy a peaceful walk along the path that surrounds the reservoir, enjoying the tranquility and finding some spots where you can have a break or a snack.

Burnhope Reservoir is a popular spot for hikers and dog walkers. It's a nice scenic spot with a variety of walks on either side of the reservoir, and there are parking spots at both ends of the dam. There are lovely rest spots with benches on the north side; I don't know regarding the southern side.
