About
Beachy waterside spot with picnic tables, playgrounds, showers and barbecues, plus boat rentals for lake fishing.
Dam West Beach is a natural lake beach and does not feature artificial pools. Therefore, there are no specific pool temperatures available. The water temperature would be that of Lake Shelbyville itself, which varies seasonally with ambient weather conditions and is not actively monitored or controlled.

In Tuesday there wasn't too many people there. Just enough to fill up the water with some good space between everybody. There is also a decent looking playground for kiddos to burn off some energy in case they get tired of swimming. And I think you can rent life jackets there through a kiosk. I'll definitely come back again with a volley ball to play on the court by the parking lot.

Perfect spot for people of all ages and walks of life. To enjoy a beach setting, cook out, kids to play on playground. Ample room for ALOT of people even on Holidays. Clean, sufficient bathrooms. Access for boats and mini yachts. Needs more changing rooms though.
