Erie County - Wendt Beach Park — Attraction in Town of Evans

I recently took a walk through Wendt Beach Park and was impressed by the changes. The park has undergone significant improvements, making it a more inviting place for visitors.

The newly paved roads and parking areas are a welcome upgrade, providing smoother access throughout the park. The addition of clear signage and improved curbing enhances navigation and safety for all guests.

Walking along the beach, I noticed the efforts to maintain the natural beauty of the shoreline. While swimming is still prohibited due to rocky conditions, the beach remains a peaceful spot for walking and enjoying the lake views.

The historic Wendt Mansion and stables are still awaiting revitalization, but their presence adds a unique charm to the park. Erie County is seeking partners to transform these structures into attractions like lodging or event spaces, which could further enhance the park’s appeal.

Overall, Wendt Beach Park has made notable strides in improving its infrastructure and amenities. It’s encouraging to see these developments, and I look forward to future enhancements that will make the park even more enjoyable for the community.

PS - It also make an ideal spot to turn around at while riding my bike down the lake...

While the beach was the main attraction for us, there's a small playground and soccer field area much closer to Lakeshore Road. So, while they're in the park with the beach, it's not a quick walk between the beach and...

Nice to walk and enjoy a breeze. It's very rocky, shale mostly, and some driftwood. There are lots of dead fish and parts. Only beach in Eden that allows dogs. Of course, on leash only. Might want swimming shoes if going in water. Lots of small rocks. Quiet on a weekday. Angola State Park is 100x nicer if you don't have a dog! They're allowed at park but not the beach part. Bennett Beach is also much nicer, though stones as well. Difficult if you're handicapped or require...
