Lake Bluff plages

This place has been revamped—it's clean, less crowded, and free of liquor, vaping, and smoking. There is a $10.00 entrance fee, and police are present during open hours. The venue starts closing down by 8:15 PM.

This beach is absolutely amazing and spacious! I've ridden my bike here several times since I don't live too far from Lake Forest. Residing in Waukegan, Illinois, I took my e-bike on a 7-mile journey to visit this beach, and the lake is stunning. You can see everything, including the Waukegan skyline and the Waukegan Generating Station with its three smoke stacks. The only downside is the parking situation and the $25 fee to enter the beach. You can't park close to the beach unless you have a city sticker. If you want to park for free, you'll have to park a mile away, which is a 30-minute walk from the downtown area. But despite that, this beach is amazing! 😍✨💙

What a fantastic place for all our service members and their families! It even features a sandbar, the first one I've ever seen in fresh water. The area is very clean, and the base itself is simply beautiful. The architecture is from the 20th century, showcasing the pride taken in construction work back then. I would have loved to explore the inside of the buildings to see the old ornamental woodwork and possibly chandeliers still in place. However, since it's an active base with high security, I didn't want to risk getting into trouble. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed my day at the base! I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Hier, nous sommes tombés sur cette plage et c'est absolument magnifique, bien qu'il soit assez étroit et rocheux. Le parking est incroyablement petit, avec seulement environ 30 places disponibles. En conséquence, il y avait 40 voitures supplémentaires garées à l'extérieur des espaces désignés, qui ont tous reçu un ticket de stationnement de 50 $. La plage était extrêmement encombrée, avec de nombreuses personnes barbecue et remplissant l'air de fumée sur toute la plage. Le chemin vers la plage met environ 6 minutes à traverser et est très raide, donc si vous portez des choses, vous serez certainement fatigué sur le chemin du retour. Les sentiers sont également fantastiques, mais nous ne reviendrons pas le week-end en raison de la foule excessive. C'est juste trop bondé, avec tout le monde qui fait la queue et ne pas bouger, attendant que quelqu'un quitte pendant que la police émet des billets pour tout le monde.
