Cross Lake Provincial Park beach is actually on Steele Lake. The beach is sandy with some grassy areas. The water is shallow with a marked swimming area. The water can be a little weedy and green in the summer months but the lake is pretty quiet in general. There are great opportunities to view nesting bald eagles and osprey in addition to checking out the French Creek Fish Ladder that enables spawning Northern Pike. This is not a well-known beach and may be your hidden gem. All of the day use and camping amenities exist including a pier and boat launch.
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.
