Usher's Park Beach is located down a steep hill (you can ask the state workers with the golf carts to take you up and down if you are loaded with too much beach stuff). It's small enough that you can know where your kids are at all times. There is one lifeguard on duty and the area where you swim is extremely shallow. On the top of the hill there is a fantastic playground for children of all ages and a very large picnic area for large families and a basketball court. To get there: Take Beach Road east past the Steamboats and the Million Dollar Beach until you come to the end (Route 9L), take a left on Route 9L. Drive a few hundred yards and you will see a parking lot, basketball courts and a playground on your right. Park at the Parking lot and follow the path down the hill to the beach.

Very nice park! Getting married here in a few weeks and couldn't have found a more scenic spot near the water- on the water actually! There is a beautiful outlet to the right of the beach that I didn't see in the site's photos when I booked the park.

SO glad I changed my venue to Ushers Park! It won't fit too many in the outlet but the pavilions combined will fit nearly 200 people! Renatal charge is $150 per pavilion but the scenery makes it worth it.

ONLY NEGATIVE- there is a steep slope through most of the park, especially when heading for the beach, but from what I am told there is a park member and golf cart available if assistance is needed. Beyond the landscape slopes, fantastic small park with views of the lake and mountains! No decoration needed!
