Our first stop is my new favorite, Clinton Lake is part of the Corps of Engineers which I cannot say enough about. They maintain their waterways and beaches so well. The swimming beach is where we always go. It is located in Bloomington Park. For a low $1 fee per person or $4 fee per car load you can swim all day. They provide showers, restrooms, a playground for the kids and life jackets. The beach is clean and the people are friendly. The water is zoned so that you are protected from boaters.
That's right they also have boating and camping. A good time for all. Down the street there is also a small, old feeling general store, that is very convenant to grab a drink or snacks. I provided a map because it is a little hard to find. The drive is really nice and relaxing though.
