WHERE
WE ARE LOCATED:
Lake Le Homme Dieu Beach is located at 2531-2641 MN-29 Alexandria, Mn 56308
WHAT IS THE
PARK'S STORY:
The beach is located on a right of way for Trunk Highway
29. Initially constructed as a wayside rest, the property quickly became
popular as a swimming spot. In 1992 Douglas County entered into a 20 year
lease agreement with the Minnesota Department of Transportation to improve
and operate the facility as a public swimming beach. With assistance from
the Alexandria Golden K Kiwanis Club, the property was rebuilt with new
restrooms, parking lots, and beach area.
Lakes Area Recreation provides lifeguard services
from noon to 7:00 p.m. during the summer swim season whenever daytime
temperatures are above 68 degrees.
Please see the Park Amenities Grid page for a list of facilities available at the County Parks.
