Beebe Lake Park & Beach (St. Michael)

For us, summers in STMA aren’t complete without at least one visit to Beebe Lake Park & Beach.

Tucked away in southwest St. Michael, this gem of a park—which is actually a regional park operated by Wright County—offers a little something for everyone. In addition to a long stretch of beach, Beebe Lake Park has a playground, fishing dock, sand volleyball courts, lots of green space with tables for picnics, a pavilion for hosting parties, and an extensive trail system.
