The beach and Lake look nice, but being a low-income family, we have been searching for clean beaches and lakes to swim in, and we spent our entire Labor Day weekend saturday, driving around to a different lakes and rivers, trying to find a place to swim. We finally found Union beach, and they wanted to charge us around $12 per person for a family of four, that is very difficult on low-income. These cities should not be charging for swimming holes, it is highway robbery!
The reservoir itself is very nice. The kiosk staff ditto. The rangers varied from very heavy handed to reasonable. The instructions from event staff didn’t match the rangers on the water, one of whom delighted in making wakes for the paddle boarders. We also had terrible experience with the Conccessionaires for the paddle boards. Don’t rent on site. Rude , entitled and burned out teenagers. Rent before you go.
Super impressed with this little gem. Very peaceful. Great for SUP & kayaking. Employees are really nice. 100000000 times better than Boulder Reservoir. No ridiculous rules! Affordable entrance fee.
Hands-down, one of the most beautiful places in the greater Front Range area. The off-leash dog beach is incredible! $10 for the whole day, which is a great deal. The views are stunning from every angle - the mountains, the lake, green space. Very well-maintained and plenty of parking, at least on the weekdays. I hear that the weekends get crazy-crowded, but I still think it's worth it. Enjoy!
