Kal Beach is a great spot for families to spend a fun day by the lake. There's a long sandy beach that's perfect for setting up towels, building sandcastles, and splashing in the water. Kids love the big dock that stretches out into the lake — it's great for walking, sitting, or jumping into the water! There are washrooms close by (always a plus with kids!) and even a beach volleyball court if you’re feeling active. When everyone needs a break, the Rail Trail Café is just a short walk away with snacks, ice cream, and coffee to keep everyone happy.
