Milnot Beach

Cool off on a hot day at Milnot Beach, play a little sand volleyball, go for a swim, float on the water or just lay out a towel, relax and catch some rays on the shore.

Have a little adventure on the water and rent a Corcl, kayak, stand-up paddleboard or even a pontoon boat. If you’re a little more adventurous, you can take a leap off the high-dive.

When you get hungry, grab a bite to eat at the Marina 1 snack bar, or you can bring a cooler, but please note there is a $5.00 cooler admission for each cooler you bring in to the facility. Just be aware that the contents of the cooler will need to be inspected by lake staff before you enter the beach area. Alcohol is not allowed at Milnot Beach, but your snacks and water sure are welcome!

An on-duty lifeguard will monitor the waters to make sure you and your family stay safe throughout your visit. Life jackets are available for purchase at Marina 1, or you can bring your own. You can also bring your rafts noodles, and floating devices to make a day of lounging around even more fun!

Of course, this is old-fashioned water-hole fun. In open water, please be careful to make safe decisions. Visitors are welcome to bring life jackets and floatation devices.
