Very clean beach! Clear water, nice little roped section for swimming.
This is a great picnic spot just few minutes drive from UW Madison. The cool thing is it has some real sand, play area for the kids, trail for biking and walking, protected area for swimming. What else we should expect ? And you can bring your kayak stuff and have some fun time.

Fantastic beach! Best swimming beach in Madison. The water is super clean and not overgrown with algae. The bottom is sandy with minimal vegetation or rocks. Very steady decline of depth. Large beach area. Lifeguards on duty during the weekend hours. It is usually more busy but the swimming area is spacious. Restrooms available.
It's a nice free beach right outside the zoo. Lifeguards aren't always present and it's a chill spot. It has ropes to divide shallow water from deep which helps with mid aged kids like mine 8-1O because even though they swim they know how far they can go. It's a safe lake not like the great lakes even if it's windy. It's not crystal clear but not disgusting and I'm kinda picky about lakes I swim in or let my kids but I sure wouldn't want a mouthful of the water. 😂

Very nice sandy beach area by the lake! The swimming area is clear of seaweed (or lakeweed) lol! No bathrooms that I found at least. Nice grass area and shady spots. Parking was tight I was able to find one spot otherwise may have to walk.
A great time and my boy loved it
Always a Fun Time ❤❤❤

Nice beach but a lot of seaweed. Lifeguard on duty which is a plus. We had a great time
