UPDATE: Open now! Looks a little different because a few years back IT TOOK A DIRECT HIT FROM THE HISTORIC QUAD STATE TORNADO OF DECEMBER 2021. LEVELED THE FOREST. BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS. WAS A POPULAR BEACH....HILLMAN FERRY CAMPGROUND SPARED BY A FEW METERS! Follow me @newtornadoalley on all sites!

Needs one more bathroom, but for what it is, it's great.

Rocky and very busy part of LBL. The hiking trails are pretty rough as well with no trimming for bushes. There are lots of biting flies if you go into the water. Make sure to pack lots of bug spray. Accessible by any car but you should be careful if driving low height cars because there are some dips in the road

No sand, all rock. So bring some water shoes. Tons of shells for kids. Lots of trees, very shady. Peaceful during the quarantine, not sure how it is otherwise.

Beautiful day-use area with picnic tables, grills and outdoor toilet facilities. The trails are fun and the beach area is great - just make sure you wear swim shoes because the rocks can hurt without them!

A nice place to access the lake. Not a lot of amenities here, but there is a restroom, lots of parking, and access to the beach. The beach is made up of small, smoothly rounded rocks, i.e. it is not a sandy beach, but is comfortable to walk on.

Semi-large swim area with a gravel bar. Several picnic tables, barely any shade. Has restrooms. Small parking lot but has circle drive.

Our favorite spot to spend a day at LBL.

A little storm damage still visible along the treeline - but the beach was clean, the view was great, and the water was absolutely perfect!

Large track of beach area with plenty of room for people to spread out and not cramp each other. Went 2 different days a Friday afternoon and a Sunday afternoon. Had totally different experience each day with regards to flies excessive biting if out of the water on Sunday from Friday. Our best guess for the cause was a combination of the busier boat traffic that lead to a above normal amount of dead fish washing assore, a severe thunderstorm on Saturday evening, and lots of people picnicing.

It's nice to see, that after the tornado devastated the area, they cleaned up, provided tables and grills and a welcome bathroom. The stone makes it's hard to access if using a cane or wheelchair or the like. Otherwise a nice spot to sit and relax, enjoy the water, and grill out for the day.

It was a great place to cool off and for free. The water was perfect. I wouldn't recommend bringing ur pups as there are a lot of dead fish and bones. One of my girls rolled around in all the dead stuff, fun smell for the ride home.

Great place. Grilling place and relaxing. Bring chairs.

Nice place to swim. They have a few grills. Get there early on the weekend or it'll be too packed to find a nice area. Make sure to wear swim shoes, because the beach is made up of rocks of all sizes. As well as most of lake floor are rocks as well.

The rocks are pretty the water looks clean but very uncomfortable to walk on. Its not for elderly or disabled people. Only one bathroom. Were water shoes for sure

This is where we go to swim. Really good spot to relax and catch some rays. I love to watch the sun set. It's beautiful.

The rocks make it rough to walk anywhere but still a great spot to swim. I recommend water shoes
