It's a stunning location to enjoy breathtaking lake views. The beach is not accessible to the general public, which means if you arrive early in the morning, you'll have the entire beach all to yourself. You just need to either ride a bike or have a boat to reach there.

We had to hike to get here because the campground was closed, but the beach is absolutely amazing. The views from this spot are simply breathtaking. Although the water is a bit cold, it's quite invigorating.

I really enjoyed the scenic drive through D.L. Bliss State Park all the way to the beach. I regret not bringing my swimsuit because the water was so refreshing at approximately 57 degrees. The beach was pristine and the water was crystal clear. It was everything I could have asked for and more. I absolutely loved it!

The beach was absolutely stunning! The water was crystal clear, making it ideal for swimming. However, by 4pm in August, it did get quite chilly. Nevertheless, it was still a fantastic spot for a picnic.
