About This Beach
The East Boat Ramp Beach (Carol Morrison Public Boat Launch) on the north shore is especially beloved by parents with young children because the water remains shallow for an extended distance from shore, making it ideal and safe for beginning swimmers and kids learning to swim. The beach features clean, clear water and soft white sand. While primarily a boat launch facility, the adjacent beach has become a popular swimming destination thanks to its convenient amenities. Clean bathroom facilities are a major draw for families spending the day, and the fishing dock provides entertainment for anglers. The large parking area accommodates both regular vehicles and boat trailers, though it can fill on busy summer weekends. Beautiful lake and mountain views, with proximity to Stanfield Marsh Wildlife Preserve and Alpine Pedal Path for combining beach days with hiking or wildlife viewing.
