Well Loved Beach by Lake

Elkhart Lake is a popular destination in Wisconsin, especially during the warmer summer months. There are grassy and sandy areas for relaxing by the lakefront, and the park is well maintained and kept very clean. A lot of people enjoy swimming in the lake because on a hot summer day, the water is cool and crystal clear. There are shallow and deep sections, and a portion of it is safely marked for younger and less skilled swimmers.

The park is large, so there are plenty of areas to spread out and enjoy the surroundings. At a lot of Wisconsin beachfronts, especially along Lake Michigan, you are going to be scrunched into the beach space and it will be tight and uncomfortable. Parking can be a problem, rowdy kids and teens ruin the atmosphere, and the murky water layered with filth leaves something to be desired. That is exactly why so many are willing to drive a few extra miles to get to Elkhart Lake. The water tends to warm earlier than Lake Michigan water, so you will be able to plunge in and enjoy swimming before you would if you visited another lake.

Firemans Park has flush toilets, and the restroom area is kept sparkling clean just like the rest of the park. There are a lot of activities inside the park including grills, volleyball courts, picnic tables, and shelters. There is a concession stand that supplies snacks and treats during the season. There is an admission fee for the park of $4.00 for adults and $2.00 for children, but most people feel it is well worth it because the park is kept in such pristine condition. The park is also filled with various nature attractions and trails, so families can explore and enjoy their surroundings when they are not relaxing on the beach.

Elkhart Lake is a popular destination for racing fans. Road America features regular drag racing, but one weekend each summer they have Vintage car racing. If not everyone in your group is a race fan, the park is a great place to pass the time while others are enjoying the races. Kids of all ages will be happy to spend long summer afternoons splashing and swimming and building sand castle. The park provides the stuff of which family memories are made. After the races, everyone may want to meet up and have a grill out at the park. You can fire up one of the grills onsite and enjoy burgers and hot dogs while swimming well into the summer evening.

There are plenty of parks to choose from in Wisconsin. Even though most of them provide a beach facility, this one stands out among the rest. Fans think it is clean and they feel comfortable taking their families to this park and allowing them to swim in the water. If you are a fan of outdoor recreation during the summer months, plan a trip out to Elkhart Lake. The Firemans Park may just be one of your favorites.
