For 2022: Since the water level is low this year it has opened up a lot more beach area, so our customers that rent a boat or Sea-doo from us are now allowed to stay and use the beach at the Blue Water Resort. Our non-motorized equipment such as kayaks and paddle boards are only available for people staying in the resort. All of our boats and Sea-Doos are in the the water ready to go, and can be used at the resort, or driven to other nearby beaches in matter of minutes (the best public beaches for 2021 due to the water level will be map marker 9-15 on the map), or you can choose to stay out on the water the whole time if you don’t need a beach. Parking is $10 per car to leave a car at the resort, but dropping off someone to pick up the Boat or Sea-Doo is free. We do have boundaries for our equipment, we ask that you stay on the Utah side of the lake (for safety we don’t want you to get caught in a storm 15 miles away).

(4) 350 S. Beach Access – There is no beach access directly below the parking lot this year due to high water level, but you can take a paved path that connects over to the Garden City Park beach access from here. If the city parking lot is full, this would be a great overflow parking to still access the Garden City Park beach. [Not a valid template]

(5) Garden City Park Beach Access – Beach access Available! This is the only public beach access within the city limits this year due to the high water. This has a boardwalk that is about a 750 foot walk (2-4 min) to the beach. There is about 300 feet of beach area, and can probably fit a few hundred people on this beach. This beach will probably get really crowded, so for more beach access head to markers 9-15 on the above map). [Not a valid template]

(15) Rendezvous Beach – 5 miles south of our location (about 10 min drive on a boat or Sea-Doo). This is a Utah State Park, and has a $10 entrance fee for day use. Has lots of room and nice sandy beaches. When water is low, they allow cars to park on the sand making it nice to load and unload. There is just over a mile of total beach below Rendezvous campground, but the part easily accessible for the day use is about 1,000 feet in length. When the lake is full this will still be a decent beach with sand and plenty of room that is open to the public, so it will probably get pretty crowded (and may even run out of parking and have to turn people away on holidays and Saturdays – so get there early). There are bathrooms and food (hamburger trailer) located here.
