Beautiful place and nice sandy beach with refreshing lake water. May be packed on weekends but still big enough to find your spot and get settled. 2 separated by plastic tubes areas: for little ones and another more deep. Water and beach pretty clean. 5$ entrance each car pay in automat on your way to the beach. just by card, no cash option.

Haven't went today, but we went on Sunday memorial day weekend. They had a barrier up, but you could get to beach and multiple families did. Tried going back that Monday and whole area was closed due to flooding. I'd say it will probably depend on how high water is.

When does the beach close for the season?

Yes as long as beachgoers have been responsible and picked up their own trash. The beach had to be closed after 4th of july weekend due to litter on the beach. You can check the army corps of engineers Facebook page for up to date closures. They have also waived the day use fee for the year!

Lake shelbyville has multiple public access beaches including one near Sullivan. I prefer dam west beach in Shelbyville because it has nice amenities including a shower house and picnic pavilions. The beach is also located a few miles from fast food restaurants and walmart if you need something you forgot.
