Website Bush Lake Beach

Bush Lake Beach and East Bush Lake Park are on the east side of Bush Lake in Bloomington. They are located slightly more than a mile away from and across the lake from West Bush Lake Park. The park is part of the greater Hyland-Bush-Anderson Lakes Park Reserve. The beach is open, but unguarded, from sunrise to 10pm daily during the summer months, June 1 through Labor Day.

From 2025 until 2030, Three Rivers Park District will operate Bush Lake beach, picnic areas, boat launch, watercraft racks.

This popular beach was traditionally guarded during open hours (11am to 7pm daily during the season), however it has been unguarded for the last several years. Along with that change, came free parking. Beach amenities include a volleyball court and concessions stand. Besides enjoying swimming, families can canoe, picnic and explore the trails.

Camp Kota Summer Camp

Designed to help kids entering grades K-7 learn outdoor skills in a fun, social setting. Campers will have an opportunity to swim, sing, make arts and crafts and try various outdoor activities.

Camp Kota will continue to be operated by the City of Bloomington during Three River’s administration of the park.
