Echo Lake has a family-friendly beach with showers, bathrooms, and changing facilities. Since Echo Lake is freshwater the water is warmer than Sand Beach. The water is shallow and perfect for families with small children. More information may be found on the national park site: nps.gov/thingstodo/swim-echo-lake-beach.htm
