Parks & Nature
This beach is tucked away behind a tuft of trees, meaning that you can find either sun or shade pretty much any time of day. To reach it you take a gravel trail that starts near the intersection of Cedar Lake Parkway and 21st Street. We recommend parking on a side street; the lot immediately in front of the beach is permit parking only. Only outhouse available, and no water tap. A lifeguard is on duty infrequently.
