Pleasant Lake also has a public beach for the residents of the lake and the town of La Grange. If you paddle or boat over there, you may be asked for proof of residence.

If you would like a larger public beach, there are two on Lake Geneva, one in the town of Lake Geneva and one in the town of Fontana. Those beaches have a day-use fee.
