North Side Municipal Beach

The sandy waterfront and harbor-side setting offer a different perspective on the city from its inland streets and industrial history.

The photograph shows the beach and nearby stone shoreline. Check current water-quality, weather and beach notices before arriving. Use designated access and stay off wave-washed structures; lake conditions can change quickly even on a clear day. Follow current swimming guidance, respect other beach users and confirm parking or seasonal facility arrangements separately.
