This park is filled with gently rolling hills, lush forests and sparkling water. Swimming is permitted at two beaches along the shore of Lake Arthur. The Pleasant Valley Day Beach on the South Shore is a 1,200-foot sand beach. Lakeview Beach on the North Shore is a 550-foot sand beach. Showers, changing facilities and concession stands are available at both beaches. While Lake Arthur is the primary attraction, with its swimming and boating areas plus a large Marina, scenic hiking and biking trails provide plenty of additional recreation opportunities.
