Accessibility

The area is partially accessible with several wheelchair-accessible trails. Facilities include accessible washrooms and a Mobi-Mat on the beach during the summer season for easier sand access. Upgrades for a fully accessible boat launcher and dock are planned.

Parking

Extensive on-site parking is available across multiple lots including Beachfront (8 accessible spaces), Lakeside Pavilion (3 accessible spaces), and Marina (10 accessible spaces). Parking is included with the daily entrance fee.
