There’s definitely been some upgrades. They keep it clean of trash, mowed, trails are nice.. The Parking lots are crowded in the Summer, not enough space. Alot of people walking their dogs without leashes, I had to pick my dog up, to prevent an encounter. (not easy). I’ve always had my dog on a leash, and I welcome meeting dogs and people. My dog is young 4 months, and it’s a great place to introduce social encounters slowly…It’s Beautifully Serene in winter and early Spring, like now…Check it out! I Highly Recommend!
Love this beach, it’s so clean and very nicely maintained. There’s a grill to about every picnic table. Over 12 picnic tables, and a trash can about every 2 feet.
This place is great.. They have beaches on both sides of the road . One is more kid friendly having things for them to play on and also rest rooms and the other is more for adults and they even have a beach for your dogs which is the best thing ever . If you haven’t ever been you need to stop n check it out..
Gorgeous Clinton County park. Clean, well maintained, and includes grilling and picnic tables for patrons. Water was perfect for such a warm day. Lots of folks on my first visit, however it did not feel cramped. Will be back for sure.
I went to the beach across the road from the park. The beach has biffys and they were very clean. It is a long beach with nice coarse sand. No shade really, but nice. You also have to walk a ways if it is busy as there is parking but often times it is too full. There was a part to launch your kayak/canoe by sliding it down a wooden draw toward the water as the parking is up above the lake. Next time I’ll bring my kayak or just explore the park itself across the road. I didn’t go last time because there was a grad party going on and parking was full. Nice beach though and unlike other county beaches this one doesn’t have a cover charge for non residents.
