About Beeds Lake State Park
A 99-acre reservoir sits inside the park's 319 acres, giving room for boating, fishing, and swimming alongside hiking trails, picnic shelters, lodges and concessions. Civilian Conservation Corps work here left behind a cluster of structures, one building, fifteen structures, and five non-contributing features, that earned the park a listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 as a historic district.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
