Orval Hansen Point Beach

Standard USFS day-use/recreation fees apply at the Redfish Lake facilities; Point Campground charges a nightly camping fee (about $26/night per recreation.gov) plus 50% for extra vehicles, though a specific day-use-only fee for this beach was not separately confirmed.

Sandy designated lake beach with a dock and paved parking right next to Point Campground makes access easy for families, but Redfish Lake is deep (max depth ~387 ft) and glacially cold (summer surface temps only reach roughly 62°F at peak), so young kids should be supervised closely and kept to the shallow shoreline; no lifeguards are documented at any Redfish Lake beach.

No significant hike is required. The swimming area is close to parking and access.

Paved roads and marked parking spurs at Point Campground/day-use area serve the beach directly; a specific day-use-only parking fee for this beach was not found (Point Campground's own nightly camping fee is about $26, not a day-use parking rate).

Redfish Lake broadly supports boating, water skiing, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing (per recreation.gov's Point Campground and North Shore listings); Sandy Beach Boat Ramp is about 0.4 mi away for launching trailered boats. No electric-only or no-wake restriction specific to this beach was found.

Summer; Point Campground's own listing cites average summer highs around 78°F and lows around 40°F, with the lake's warmest water in late July into early August.

Day-use areas on Redfish Lake (e.g., the comparable North Shore Picnic Area) are day-use only with no overnight camping, and visitors are asked to minimize vehicles/carpool due to limited parking; similar rules likely apply here though not separately confirmed for this exact beach.
