The sand beach on this side of Goose Lake is a popular swimming spot during the summer (despite the presence of stubborn swimmer's itch). It's also the perfect staging spot for a run, with lots of parking so you can usually find a spot, except on very sunny weekend days.

Goose Lake has an actual sand beach, which makes it a popular place for swimming. It also has a lot of geese... which makes it a popular place for swimmer's itch, so make sure you shower quickly after swimming here.

There's a lot of parking here, which means it's a great place to start or end your ride on the nearby paved trails.
