Joy Kodani:

"We love coming here in the winter when the lake is low. It creates a big beach space with a lot of rocks for kids to climb and explore, and our dog loves running around here, and climbing the rocks as well. These photos were taken at Beale's Point State Park, which has ample picnicking, swimming areas, and camping in spring and summer."

"This place is absolutely amazing! So beautiful!!!!!! I just don't like the fact that we had a big group and they only allowed 2 cars and the rest was $12 per car per day, they are REALLY STRICT ON WHERE TO PARK AND WILL GIVE YOU A TICKET!"

"$12 to access the park. Had a great time at the lake. What a difference in the water levels since the last time I visited. The lake is back to it's normal capacity!"

"Nice place for relaxing on the beach, or biking, and bringing your kids. They are boat rentals, and lots of picnic areas. We were here on a Sunday and there is plenty of parking all around the lake. The park fee is $12 for a passenger car. If you prefer privacy, they are lots of empty beaches around."
