We usually go for the day with the family. It’s a paid entry of $15/adult and kids under 10 are free if I am not mistaken. No dogs are allowed. We enjoy it because it’s private, the water is clean and shallow, there are bathrooms that are pretty clean, some people even fish over by the rocks. They recently started a no music policy, which sucks but I don’t think it’s a problem if you keep it low. Over all we enjoy this place and have been coming for a few years now. Also try to arrive early if you want to get a good spot.

Absolutely going back, you need to get early in the morning for the better spots though. The mushrooms were absolutely clean The beach was shallow and Sandy underneath It is $15 for adults and have a price for kids Which is worth the beach. It’s fantastic for kids because the weather never goes deep Thanks for the management .

Nice management. Love this area ...a nice hidden gem. If you are not staying at the resort you need to get there by 8am latest because it gets packed after that and you might not get in. Park right beside the beach area and set up. Costs $12 per adult $6 per kid if yr just visiting the beach for the day. Very clean beach and water. When you go in a little further the water gets very clear. While outdated there are clean rooms at the resort.full sized refrigerator is awesome! Walk out and yr on the lake for $140 a night,its so worth it. It's great for small children-- it's very shallow. Not even waist deep really far in. You can enjoy yourself and not worry too much about drownings since it's nice and shallow. Fishing was fun. Lots for kids and family to enjoy. It's our 2nd year visiting. We will definitely return again soon.

We usually come here for the day to enjoy a bit of bbqing and a nice beach day with our family and friends. It does get busy, but for a spot like this is expected. The gentleman at the gate that takes payment is always friendly and funny. The washrooms can get busy, especially for the ladies' side, but, again, it gets busy. The water is shallow and stays shallow quite a bit out, so it's great for kids and non swimmers. They usually have an ice cream truck there as well as a stall that has floaty toys and things. I always have a great time here. The crowd is always enjoyable and the staff have always been friendly to us. And FYI there are no pets allowed at this resort.

Today we spent a wonderful day at a private beach by the lake. The place is amazing: clean sand, warm lake water, and beautiful views. Truly delightful! However, I have to point out one downside. It's a pity that the beach management doesn't enforce the rules posted at the entrance. It's especially annoying when groups blast their music at full volume. It ruins the atmosphere and disturbs other visitors who want to enjoy the peace and beauty of nature. I hope that in the future, the beach management will pay more attention to rule enforcement to ensure a pleasant experience for everyone.

The resort was absolutely stunning, you can bbq and play music with breathtaking views. However, I was quite disappointed by the state of the washrooms. Despite the beautiful surroundings, the lack of cleanliness in the washrooms was a significant downside to an otherwise lovely experience. Employ someone to clean it throughout the days.
