Why go

The lake pairs a relatively leafy shoreline with useful links toward Lake of the Isles and the Kenilworth Channel. East Cedar Beach is also known as Hidden Beach, while paths and a fishing pier offer a visit that does not depend on swimming. Its setting feels different from the more open shores of Bde Maka Ska.

What to look for

East Cedar Beach is the shore spot often called Hidden Beach.
A fishing pier and lakeside paths offer views away from the beach.
The Kenilworth Channel links this lake with Lake of the Isles.

Useful to know

Choose one shoreline destination for a short visit; add the channel connection for a longer walk.
Check current beach and trail notices before relying on swimming or a specific path.
