Canyon Park Beach is one of the fantastic Canyon Lake beaches. It is located on the northern side of the ake and offers a variety of outdoor recreational activities such as biking, hiking, swimming, sunbathing, picnicking, and fishing. It’s a kind of a mini getaway to swim and relax in the bosom of nature, good for those who have little time and/or money.
There aren’t too many visitors during the week and people start to really show up after 2-3 p. m, but prepare to see crowds on holidays and weekends in high season.

Facilities
There aren’t many amenities on site. If you prefer to pack your own food and cook and eat in the fresh air, luckily for you, there are picnic tables and fire pits on a first-come, first-serve basis. There are also porta-potties near the beach but make sure to bring your own toilet paper. There is no boat ramp, so boats are not allowed at this beach.
Beach
The lake access is easy. There is no sand, only pebbles, and rocks, so it’s better to bring water shoes. This beach is appropriate for swimming and tubing, although it’s not always clean and, if you’re unlucky, you can run into the trash and murky water.
Nevertheless, Canyon Lake is famous for its cold and clear water – very enjoyable to swim on a hot summer day. In contrast to many other beaches on Canyon Lake, this one provides a really shallow area, which is good for children and weaker swimmers.
Other Activities
Outside the swimming area, you can launch canoes, kayaks, or paddleboards. Jet skiing is prohibited. If you’re a fishing enthusiast or just in a mood to cast a line, fishing is another good option for your day off at the lake. Overall, the lakeside area is scenic and it’s quite soothing to stroll around or just sit and watch the sunset.
Dog Policies
Unfortunately for dog owners, no pets are allowed in the area.
