Need somewhere to swim on a beautiful summer day? Look no further because Lake Superior State Park is the perfect place for you and your family. This park has a peaceful beach where you can have a swim and relax on the sand with your family.

The water in this lake is clean and refreshing for the hot summer days. The atmosphere is peaceful compared to going to a crowded town pool in order to cool off. Take a break from the chlorine water and swim in this clean lake! Families might want to wear water shoes for sensitive feet due to the rocky grounds in the lake.

While enjoying the lake, you are surrounded by beautiful views of the trees around you and the views of the lake. If you are lucky enough, you might be able to hear free concert music since Bethel Woods is close by!

There are plenty of opportunities for fishing in this lake. This would be the perfect opportunity for you to teach your kids how to fish. Your family can also rent small row boats and paddle boats for a small price for even more fun! There is also a playground for your young ones to still have fun even on land.

Your family can take a nice stroll around the lake on the hiking trails. Enjoy the beautiful day by going on a mini hike with your family to get them moving while taking in the spectacular views. There are also many hiking trails in the surrounding area for your family to choose from and great State Parks that make family-friendly vacation spots too!

Hungry anyone? A nice family picnic is the best way to spend time with your family. There are plenty of picnic tables and grills on the beach of this lake. Although it is a small lake, there is room for everyone to have their own space when having their own picnic. You can bring some delicious homemade lunch or order some food from the snack bar during their open hours. What better way to spend a beautiful hot summer day than a nice swim and picnic?
