Rochon Sands Beach is a long and sandy beach protected from the wind. The water is shallow but is great for swimming further out in the marked swimming area. This is a great beach for a weekend camping trip and very family friendly with a playground off the beach. There is also a bathroom and change room right on the beach as well as shady areas. The water is slightly saline which makes for clearer waters than some other central Alberta lakes. The lake is fed by the Red Deer River when required via a pumping system. There is a public boat launch in the PP as well and access from the day use parking lot is about a 30-metre walk on a path.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
