About Bimini beach

Bimini Beach is a sandy swimming hole on Bimini Lake, a 277-acre reservoir inside Treasure Lake, a semi-private gated residential community about 8 miles north of DuBois, Pennsylvania. It is one of two lake beaches maintained by the Treasure Lake Property Owners Association, giving residents and their accompanied guests a private lake to swim in.

The beach sits on the shore of Bimini Lake, one of two impounded lakes (along with the larger Treasure Lake) built within the Treasure Lake residential community in Clearfield County. The surrounding land is developed as a gated community with homes, golf courses, and other amenities rather than being wild or undeveloped terrain.

Swimming at Bimini beach

A maintained, sandy community lake beach with a designated swim zone described by the property owners association as calm lake water suitable for family swimming. Lifeguards are on duty as staffing allows; swimming is at one's own risk when no lifeguard is present.

How to get to this swimming hole

Located within the Treasure Lake gated community at 1556 Caribbean Rd., DuBois, PA; the community is roughly 8 miles north of downtown DuBois off PA routes serving the area.

The walk in

No real hike here. The water is a short walk from where you park. This is a drive-up community lake beach inside the Treasure Lake gated development, not a hike-in spot; no trail or approach walk is described by any source found.

Bringing kids

OK with supervision

Sandy, calm impounded-lake beach with a designated swim zone, which is generally good for kids, but the Treasure Lake POA's own site states swimming is at your own risk whenever a lifeguard is not on duty (lifeguard coverage depends on staffing), so supervision matters.
