The sandy shores of Long Lake play host every summer to the legendary Folk on the Rocks music festival. But this oasis is a perfect summer retreat on any sunny weekend of the year. You’ll be sure to see boaters, water skiers and maybe a volleyball game or two. The beach provides easy access to Prospector’s Trail, along with camping and other attractions in Fred Henne Territorial Park. A kitchen area, campground and changing rooms are all available on site.
