This is a nice park in a pretty area, with lots of places for fishing or gold panning. We stopped by to pan for gold, and had a lot fun. It was nice to be outdoors, and we found some nice gold dust and flakes.

Yeah..I seen that on the side of a building..talking about a "beach" in a town in the middle of the state and I said to myself wt? Anyhoo,went down there and there were locals fishing and they told us where to get a permit on a Sunday for panningπŸ‘ Trout was big,but it's not a beach...it's a lake w/sand going round itπŸ˜‰

This place is beautiful! It gets crowded on the weekends but I scored a waterfront campsite on a weeknight and it was perfect. Close to the parking lot but still secluded, and you can take the footpath downtown for dinner or groceries. And the price can't be beat. I almost want to keep this place a secret!

The beach moniker is a bit confusing for an out-of-towner like myself, but the numerous pictures reveal its true nature. A simple parking area along the shore of the river, but those in-the-know park in Fairplay and walk over. A small bridge allows you to cross to the "beach" side, and walk a bit more along the water. Families wade into the stream at points, and the cool mountain water can be both refreshing and shocking, especially to Colorado foreigners.

Questions & Answers

Do I need a reservation?

No. It is just an area you can park and hang out at. There is a pond and river for fishing as well as a basketball hoop and a small walking path. The only thing you need a permit for us a fishing license if your fishing or a permit if you want to camp over night. Everything else is free to enjoy! In the winter there's a hill you can sled on!

Is there any camping at or near the beach? I have a van and only need to park for the night. I do not need electricity or any water. Thanks for your help.

I do belive you need a camping permit for the beach. Its states it in the sign at the beach but if your in your car you'll be fine for a night
