Under construction and a real mess. Beach was closed due to high bacterial levels. It needs a lot of work right now. Also there's been violence there as well as two drownings during the summer of 22. There's a reasonable amount of parking, but no electric car charging facilities.

I enjoy swimming at this beach of upper Mystic lake year after year, however this year there is some pretty serious construction on site. The DCR will have a better swim house than ever, eventually, but progress takes time. Be aware there are no lifeguards in 2022 and you should swim with a swim buoy if you're going out beyond this one ropes.

One of my favorite places of all time for taking longer walks and relax by the water.

Lots of parking but does pack up pretty quick after work hours! The main beach part is very busy so if you want quiet just walk around the park and there are other quiet swimming hanging spots

The site is beautiful, large, parking is limited, many people go to the site, a day like today should be crowded, I recommend private days, Saturday and Sunday many people go
