Description

Park in the lot on 70th Street (Lakeshore Drive) and follow the trail to the overlook or the beach. It's not marked, but there's no trouble following the path. There's a lake overlook with a couple of benches. There's also a beach access but, due of erosion, it's a bit tricky to climb down to the lake.
