My family and I are huge fans of Bee Run, and we visit it multiple times every year in all four seasons. The beautiful lake is of course the main attraction our kids love to splash around in the water, and my wife and I love to spend hours floating. We also have boated the whole lake multiple times and paddled at least 85% of it. The lake does have a beach area, but we seldom it because we prefer to seek out the more secluded areas. As of today's date, Sept. 27, 2021, the lake and park are free for anyone to join. This is one of the best aspects of the area, however, if the rumors are true this may not be the case for long. On our last trip we had a small educational hour with our kids on the many different types of mushrooms we found. That's another beauty about the place, every time we go we always have a different experience........
