Summer is here and that means SWIMMING!

Rock Canyon Beach has a sandy beach, grassy areas, picnic tables with grills, volleyball courts, restrooms/showers and vending machines.  You can bring the whole family out for the day of swimming and picnicking fun.

The beach is open Thursday through Monday, 11 am to 6 pm.  Entrance is free to the beach, but a park pass is required on every vehicle that enters the park.

New this year:  Paddleboards and kayaks are permitted on the backside of the swimming area.  Carry in your own, or rent one from the Laketime Rentals (set up on the beach).

Please remember:  Leave your furry friend at home when planning a trip to the beach.  Dogs are not allowed in the beach compound.  For your bare feet’s safety:  glass is also not permitted in the beach

Admission to the swimbeach is free, but a valid parks pass is required on every vehicle entering the park.
