Reviews
Really great swimming area. The beach is really nice and the swimming area is also pretty weed free, at least on one side.
The young teens can get pretty rowdy on the dock messing around and pushing each other in, but I’ve not seen anything too crazy. Just be cautious about young kids on the dock when it’s really busy. It’s also pretty deep at the end of the dock, great for jumping in.
Great place to relax, during the week not usually busy
ORIGINAL REVIEW:If you’re in the area, this is a destination you’re sure to not leave disappointed. My husband grew up visiting his grandparents who lived in the community that surrounds this park. We stopped for a few moments to allow him to soak up the nostalgia originally thinking we wouldn’t want to stay. I’ll be honest, we didn’t have time to stay that time….but we’ve already began planning our next family vacation and we added this to our itinerary forva whole day! Changing area, clean bathrooms, playground, sand, wonderful swimming, close to many good places to eat!
UPDATE: We returned again this year and spent the better part of the day at Crystal Lake! The water was the perfect temperature to leave us refreshed after a few days of rustic camping at Reedsburg Dam. The kids and my husband and I enjoyed jumping off the “T” shaped dock. The lake bottom was so sandy and not unpleasant to walk on at all. It was not over crowded. My oldest son caught a few fish on the other side of the lake. He was also fortunate enough to join in on a basketball game at the east side of the park. We will surely be returning again next year! We HIGHLY recommend Crystal Lake!
Fun place for kids and families or jus to hangout by urself and have a great view and some serenity
This is a fantastic little public, sandy beach, with a great jumping and diving dock.
Plenty of space for little kids to play and plenty of space for bigger kids and adults to swim. No lifeguard, no open/closed hours. Porta-potty available.
Swings and picnic benches in a grassy area above the beach. Pets not allowed on beach.
