The clear, cool waters of Jamesville Reservoir and sparkling Butternut Creek offer the ideal place to cool off on a hot summer day. These protected waters are excellent for paddle boats, row boats, canoes and kayaks which can all be rented at the beach, Memorial Day Weekend - Labor Day. See Rental Info.
At the beach, over 140 yards of lifeguarded waterfront features a 0' depth to 4' shallow water area, a 7'-10' deep water zone and a 3000 square foot inflatable raft zone. The deep water area includes a floating raft which provides experienced swimmers a cool place to hang out, sunbathe or demonstrate their cannonball technique. During beach season, schedules for activities for ages 5-8 which include "Alligator Wrestling" or "Sharks and Minnows" are posted at the beach.
