It’s summer. What’s better than swimming! Beaver Bay Beach is horseshoe shaped and one of the few placed on the lake where the water warms in the summer! *Please note that pets, glass containers and hard sided boats (canoes, kayaks, etc) are not allowed in this beach area.
If you bring your own horses, you can take advantage of over 20 miles of trails available on the north side of the park from the Corral day use and camping area - close to Scott Group Campground!
Looking forward to boating? Eagle Boat Launch provides the only major access for boaters on the sound end of Lake Pend Oreille.
