Swimming

The crystal clear waters of Moosehead Lake offer enjoyable swimming opportunities. There are three public beaches that are easily accessed from downtown Greenville.

Greenville Junction:

The beach in Greenville Junction has picnic tables and a play area for children. There is a wharf for fishing, plus boat launch facilities.

Directions: From downtown Greenville take Route 15 (Pritham Avenue) north for 1.3 miles. Go under the railroad trestle, bear right, and then take a sharp right into the Junction Wharf area.

Lily Bay State Park:

The State Park has one of the nicest beaches on the entire lake. It is a wide sandy beach with a picnic area, a wide expanse of lawn, and a play area for children. The park charges a nominal day use fee.

Directions: From downtown Greenville go north on the Lily Bay Road for about 8 miles. You will see the park entrance on your left.

Town Beach by Masonic Temple:

This is a nice sandy beach for children. In the summer, the Greenville Recreation Department offers swimming lessons and a lifeguard is on duty. There is a set of rafts for children to jump off.

Directions: From downtown Greenville go north on Route 15 (Pritham Avenue) for .6 miles. Park in the Masonic Temple parking lot on the right, shortly after the Mobil station.
