About White Lake Beach
White Lake Beach corresponds to White Lake Park, a free public park operated in/near the Village of White Lake in Langlade County, Wisconsin, at 1190 Lake St. It sits on the shore of White Lake, a 153-acre, 42-foot-deep lake to swim in, and offers a proper swimming hole: an official designated swimming area with a sand beach and swim raft.
The park is a lakefront recreation area on the shore of White Lake in the Town of Royalton, Langlade County, adjacent to the small village of White Lake in north-central Wisconsin. It functions as a multi-use community park combining swimming, boating, and fishing access rather than a remote or undeveloped natural site.
Swimming at White Lake Beach
Swimming takes place at a designated sand beach swimming zone marked with a swim raft, suited to families and casual lake swimming rather than deep-water or adventure swimming. No official designated hours or depth markers beyond the raft were found in sourced material.
How to get to this swimming hole
Located at 1190 Lake St, White Lake, WI 54491, on the shore of White Lake next to the Village of White Lake; the park includes a public boat launch and kayak launch alongside the beach.
The walk in
No real hike here. The water is a short walk from where you park. White Lake Beach is a drive-up lakefront park (1190 Lake St, White Lake, WI) with a boat launch, kayak launch, and beach in one contiguous area, no trail or hike is needed to reach the water. Exact walk distance from a specific parking spot to the sand beach was not confirmed in sourced material.
Plan your visit
Bringing kids
OK with supervision
Designated sand-beach swim area marked by a swim raft is family-friendly, but no lifeguard is mentioned in any official listing, and the same park has a public boat ramp and motorized-boat access right alongside the swim zone, so boat traffic is a realistic hazard for young swimmers. No official depth markers beyond the raft were found.
Restrooms
Yes
Restrooms are listed as an on-site amenity by both Travel Wisconsin and Langlade County's park listing. No detail on restroom type (flush vs. vault) was found. Boulder Lake Campground, 4.5 mi away, is the nearest additional facility per RIDB.
On the water
Travel Wisconsin's listing explicitly categorizes the park's boat access as supporting both 'Motorized' and 'Non-Motorized' vessels, with a boat ramp and a separate canoe/kayak launch. No no-wake, electric-only, or horsepower restriction was found in any source.
What regulars say
One local visitor called White Lake Park 'a great place' for fishing, but noted the boat launch surface is uneven and needs maintenance, relevant to anyone launching a kayak or canoe there.
