Bringing kids

Good for kids

Town-designated, lifeguard-supervised lake beach with swimming confined to a posted beach area during staffed hours (11am-6pm daily, June 15-Aug 31 2026 season) -- the kind of controlled setting well suited to young kids, though no source describes the actual entry slope/depth at the shoreline.

Hours
