White Bear Lake County Park

Beware that geese make this area their home and the beach area and grass are covered in poo. The beach is fairly rocky so if you have kids, water shoes are a good idea. Bring folding chairs to sit on because the area was littered with poo. It has nice bathrooms. There is a changing area in the ladies bathroom but without any privacy or drapes. The only shower is an outdoor shower near the bathroom building.

The playground is decent for when kids need a distraction from the water. There are tables and seating. There are some trees that offer a little shade but the afternoon sun makes it really hot. I would suggest a beach umbrella for when coming here to get a little shade.

This is a great place to take kids to swim. There is a large grassy area with plenty of room for families to social distance while watching their kids swim. There is a concrete wall at the edge of the water with a small step down into nice soft sand and the water remains shallow for at least 50 yards. The water is clear and the swim area is roped off to keep boaters at a safe distance. Every time we’ve been there there has also been people with various kayaks or sail surfing that seem to be available to try or rent.

Nicely kept up and on white bear lake

Cleaner than many other parks and beach

Great place for a picnic
