Long Lake Park features one of the finest swimming beaches in Thurston County, as well as sand volleyball and picnic tables. The 285 feet of beach frontage stands in contrast to the heavily-wooded property that provide an evergreen entrance to the park site. The upland area has picnic facilities and a natural trail through the woods. Dogs are not allowed on the beach or in the swim area.
