Visitor notes
Great place to breathe in nature, beauty and experience God's glory in each flower 🌼
Beautiful park on the lake, intersecting with a couple of other interesting places which are the Bahai Temple, A harbor and the North Shore Channel. There's plenty of sand on this beach. Many beaches along the North Shore have no sand. This one is very nice.
Such a terrible experience for someone looking to have a good time at a beach place. They wouldn’t tell us there’s a very high parking fee and additional fees to access anything and everything in the spot. There ain’t a single spot for public to access. Not also a place to take your pets as we were completely misguided by the park reps there.looked like some elite place that only certain group of people could access.
Clean and super peaceful ❤️
Невеличкий парк на березі озера. Де можна в парковій зоні відпочити із родиною, друзями... Взяти гриля та смачно поїсти під відкритим небом. По території бігають білки, зайці, перехожих не бояться. Вхід на територію пляжу, 5 доларів для резидентів. А 10 для не резидентів. Можна прийти на цілий день покупатися та позасмагати.
Love this place. Parking is right by the beach and the sunrise is beautiful. Also kudos to this lady going for a swim this morning at 6:30am. We were in our jackets with our son and she just simply walked passed us into the waves and enjoyed the sunrise.
Very well maintained beach! Clean, clear water. Could even rent some boats as well. Kid friendly and I think a dog park area was near by. Loved to see the memorial trees as well.
