This
beach
IS
NOT
a
public
beach
as
categorize
in
the
maps.
We
were
visiting
family
up
in
Vernon
Hills
and
planned
to
visit
the
Lake
Forest
beach
to
kill
time
until
we
were
supposed
to
meet
them.
I
searched
the
map
since
we
are
driving
more
tahn
1
hour
away
to
see
our
family.
We
choose
this
because
of
the
playground
for
my
son
in
the
beach
itself
just
in
case
he
wants
to
play
rather
than
to
play
the
sand.
I
am
familiar
with
the
areas
at
the
lake
side
being
it
a
affluent
neighborhood
but
didn't
think
about
the
beaches
being
the
sole
ownership
by
the
city/village
with
extreme
restrictions
for
non
residents.
I
do
not
know
the
law
regarding
who
can
have
access
to
the
Lake
if
it
is
not
a
private
lot
but
I
thought
the
State
of
IL
bears
the
ownership
and
it
will
be
benefit
to
all
residents
like
the
State
of
California
who
owns
the
beaches.The
beach
is
"owned"
by
the
Lake
Forest
park
district
and
charges
the
public
who
are
not
residents
of
Lake
Forest
to
enter
the
beach.
I
was
fine
to
pay
but
what
my
surprised
was,
only
people
with
Lake
forest
stickers
can
park
on
the
parking
lot
in
the
beach,
no
allowed
parking
in
the
streets
close
to
it
either.
The
attendants
instructed
us
that
the
parking
for
outsiders
is
in
a
church
a
few
miles
away
and
will
walk
~10
mins
to
the
beach,walk
downstairs
and
pay
$25/each
person
even
with
my
3
year
old
have
to
pay
the
same
amount.
I
mean,
I
am
ok
to
pay
to
use
the
amenities
since
we
drove
that
far
but
to
walk
that
far
because
they
won't
allow
you
to
use
the
parking
lot
by
the
beach
and
pay
that
much,
I
said
thank
you
but
no
thanks.
I
felt
that
they
were
discouraging
the
public
to
use
the
beach
or
allowing
people
to
come
to
the
area
by
jacking
up
the
entrance
fee
and
other
restrictions
just
because
it
is
a
affluent
neighborhood.
So
we
drove
more
North
and
ended
in
Lake
bluff
beach,
the
attendants
were
more
friendlier,
there
were
street
parking
for
the
public
very
close
to
the
entrance
and
pay
$15
/each
adults
and
$10/kids
entry
fee.
