Scales Lake Beach In Boonville, Indiana’s 2023 Opening Date

A popular beach in Southern Indiana will soon be opening for the 2023 season.

Scales Lake Park in Boonville is an awesome place to spend the summer. You can go camping, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, bike on the trails, check out the petting zoo, and more. I've been going there my whole life, and one of the coolest things about Scales Lake is the lake itself. In particular, the beach. My family went there more times than I can count last year. It's a great place for kids and families to spend the day soaking up the sun and having some fun.

Scales Lake Park Beach

Scales Lake Park is home to a 66-acre lake where you can kayak, rent canoes, john boats, fish, and swim. Yes, in case you didn't know, Boonville has a beach! You can lay out in the sun on the sandy beach, swim in the lake, and make your way to the "deep end" where the diving board is located. Oh, and the giant water slide that they have there is one that the kids (and even adults) will want to go down over and over again. You can pack a lunch or enjoy food and drinks from the concession stand while you're there too.

With the weather getting warmer, folks are starting to wonder when the beach at Scales Lake will open. Well, wonder no more!
