Blue Springs Lake Beach

A day well spent! Blue Springs Lake is the closest water location to our current residence. As an east coaster and big fan of the beach, I was a tad disappointed by the lack of large bodies of water near Kansas City. Insert Blue Springs Lake. Imported sand made me feel like I was spending a day at the beach. The water was warm. The abounding amounts of trees created a scenic view and provided shade from the scorching sun rays. Picnic tables provided a comfortable place for lunch. Life guards watched over families and kids, splashing around with wild abandon.There is a $8 admission fee for adults and $6 fee for children. Bathrooms with showers available with admission. No alcohol is allowed on the premise. Call to verify their hours-- the website says they open at 11 a.m. but the swim park didn't actually open until 1 p.m. Grab your inflatables and your best friend, then enjoy a day at Blue Springs Lake!

Great beach with plenty of space for tons of people to sprawl out. We took a beach canopy and set up for a day recently. Lifeguards on duty and pay to get in so better policed so to speak than regular open to the public beaches. Not covered in trash or dog poop. Kids had a great time.

ClosedWe were disappointed.But came back and swam in the pool. Hope it's open tomorrow!
