"It is a nice secluded beach but the parking lot is 1/2 mile from the beach. A very long walk if carrying small children and coolers. Only on port-a-pottie and no trash can."
"One of our favorite beaches! It's a small beach so not good for crowds. There are walking trails too. Lovely view and fairly clean water."
"Great places with lots to do. Take a hike on one of the many trails or take a dip in the crystal clear lake with sand and pebble beach free of debris. Update: It's still absolutely gorgeous to come out here. Be mindful of swimming advisories (always read the posted material that can be found at the parking lot)"
"Very nice place to walk, swim or just relax close to the water. Kids enjoyed so much! I saw a lot people with their popies enjoying as well."
"Great, beautiful, & scenic area for walking, hiking, biking and swimming. The Main beach area was nice, a little bit small. But, you can go nearby to the first trail head on the right and there are many areas that branch off that have small sandy and fantastic swimming areas. I took my 2 daughters (10 & 13) and dog and we ventured a short way off the path and had our very own swimming area. The water was clean and not weedy. Note: Dogs are not allowed in the main beach swimming area. We had excellent time and picked up after ourselves and our pet. We had people to the right of us who did the same. **I hope people continue to be responsible and pick up after themselves and their pets as this was a great find to be able to have the whole family (dog included) enjoy the water on a hot day."
