Nice little (emphasize "LITTLE") public park located on the west side of American Lake, including boat access and a public swimming area (no lifeguards). Always busy when the weather is nice, but usually a friendly, safe environment. There are 2 covered areas, (one of them attached to the bathroom facility, i.e. lots of foot traffic) and plenty of places to lay down a blanket or set up an awning. The entire park is on a gentle, SE facing slope with lots of sun in afternoons. It has a concrete path going all the way down from the parking lot, to where the sand begins. The beach area makes up about a third of the entire park (not including boat ramp and parking) and has small dock that you can swim out to. The rest of the park is covered with beautiful, old growth evergreens, providing lots of shade and cooler temps when it's hot out. This is a nice park, just know beforehand that you'll probably be "cozy" with your neighbor when it's busy. Although the park is small, the parking area is abundant and free. Not really a "destination park" (in my opinion), but nice park none the less and worth checking out.
