Many recreational activities can be enjoyed in the area, from boating, fishing and swimming, to picnicking, hiking and mountain biking.
Thoughts:
This little area is one of the best beaches around. It is a bit bigger than the others in the area and the sand is great right out into the water with minimal rocks. Large beach area and large grass with plenty of picnic tables. The grass had both trees for shade and open field for sun and activities.
There is a bathroom / change room near the parking lot that was relatively clean and a non-motorized boat launch area. Right at the base of the Stave Falls Power House, the water is fed down from Stave lake keeping it very clean and a little brisk.
A large parking lot with overflow parking on the Stave Falls Power house side and a walk along a short path.
Pros:
Close to the city but far enough out that it is not always busy. The sand is great and goes out into the water with minimal rocks to step on.
Cons:
Parking lot is a bit of a hike from the beach/picnic area and the park gates close at 8:45 so you must make sure you are starting to pack up if you go for a later dinner.
