This location is public access to Whitefish Lake. The water is shallow on this end of the lake (under 20’) along the shoreline. There are swims to the left and right alon gm the shoreline . This end of th lake gets very busy during tourist season, and a public boat ramp is located here too. However, during mornings, especially spring and fall when the town is less busy, this can be a nice peaceful spot. Dog and family friendly.

Frequently asked questions
Is this lake safe for swimming?
Check the Conditions tab for surface state and wind conditions. Review the Quality tab if this is a designated bathing water. Always read recent community reports for local advice.
How cold is the water?
Check the Temperature tab for the current estimate and 7-day trend. Lakes hold heat longer than rivers but can develop a thermocline. The water below the surface can be dramatically colder.
What should I bring?
A tow float for visibility (especially important where boats operate), warm layers for after, and consider a wetsuit in colder months. Check for designated swimming areas.
