Learn more about alerts →Boaters and lake families get the most out of this place: 9 launches, rentals at the marina, muskie and bass fishing, and beaches open through mid-September. Grab a lakeside cottage early if the view matters, reviewers single them out as the best spots in the park.
Solitude campers will be frustrated. Sites are cramped throughout every loop, the nearest grocery run is 30 minutes out, and there's no refund if you leave early after realizing the crowd isn't for you.

Summer delivers the best access to Glendale Lake and the park's beaches, open late May through mid-September. Daytime highs typically reach the mid-70s to mid-80s°F, with nights cooling into the 50s–60s. This is prime time for swimming, boating, and paddleboarding, but expect heavy crowds on holiday weekends. Reserve sites and boat launches early during peak season. Fall brings cooler air and fewer people, though water facilities close. Winter opens ice fishing and skating when the lake freezes, but services are minimal.
Beaches and full lake access late May–mid‑Sept; summer is peak and best for water activities.
