Im from Utah and I wish we had lakes this nice there. 2 playgrounds, 1 splash part, paddleboard and kayak rentals, a sidewalk that goes all the way around the lake for bicycles and joggers which equals 6 Miles. Boat locker rentals, shade tables bbq pits.. Need i say more. Love this place. Also... bathrooms ever so often all the way around the lake

Newly renovated, the new Easter Lake Beach is superb. It's not huge, but it offers a lot. Next to the beach (which is dragged and maintained) is a playground and splash pad, as well as modern bathrooms, concessions, boat rentals, docks, and it's all handicap accessible, including the water. This is now a beach to be proud of.
