Baptiste Lake Recreation Area Beach. Baptiste Lake is named after settler Majeau Baptiste. The beach is sandy and the waters shallow. Baptiste Lake generally has high levels of algal growth with a history of blue green algae blooms in the months of July and August. The beach in the recreation area has all of the day use and camping amenities. Baptiste is a very developed lake so expect a lot of boat traffic but the swimming area is clearly marked.
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.
