Resident parking only in Shady. It's great when it's on the quieter side. Gets busy by non residents who pay to park in the main area of calf pasture beach and "camp" out all day. Bathrooms with handicap access ramp. Popular for big parties. I've seen Ripka's food truck over there, probably a catering arrangement. Great area to get a workout in. Nice inclines on both sides of the loop. Closed to cars unless someone is gaining access to their kayak. Close to the water park and playground. NO DOGS ALLOWED - DOG PARK is ACROSS THE STREET. I believe that's also resident only parking during the summer unless that changed.
Beautiful nice beach. Parking for non residents is $65 but it is worth spending a day at a nice beach. We had a great time. Nice pier where you can fish and just view the open water.
A wonderful park-beach to spend time with family, friends or just be alone with yourself. I saw many beautiful sunsets, but for some reason in this place they are somehow special.
Short beach walkaway path along side the shore. Plenty of parking space. Calm and serene though. Good place to be with you friends and family. Lots of spot for fishing along the deck.
This place is really AWESOME! AMAZING! I wish I can go every weekend 😍😍😍😍 My favorite part is the area for the kids. Nice!!!!
