Belleayre Lake

Beautiful small swimming oasis in the area. The grounds were well kept which was great. The sand is not really sand and is a bit rough. The water was clean. There was a snack stand and rentals (didn’t use either) but good to know that they have food but you can bring your own. Not much shade and zero breeze which shortened our stay with a young toddler. Lifeguards are a bit intense. My baby was playing in the sand near the shoreline and the lifeguard had us move over in case he had to do an emergency save in knee deep water. Overall, it was a nice time.

It’s pretty ok, $20 to enter, not a huge lake, perfect for families with kids of various ages as you can play with the little ones on the beach while the older kids can canoe or do the paddle boat. Clean Facilities and shade trees with picnic tables. I’m not sure what keeps this from being 5 stars. Maybe bc everytime I’ve gone the staff has been sour. Not sure what management is like, but those people don’t seem happy. I’m not expecting a red carpet rolled out, but you can tell when people desperately hate a job and it can sometimes cast a pall over the experience.

Beautiful lake and scenery. Although small, it has everything you need! Took my girls 3 and 5 there for an hour to play in the sand and the water. Was expensive $20 a car for the day but we all had a great time. Was clean and a good time. Would go back again if we are in the area!

Outstanding place in the mountains! All the workers are nice and helpful! The bathroom was super clean!

Nice little lake, but too much rules for Paddle boards. Friendly personel otherwise
