October, you've been incredibly warm this year.

Warm enough, we packed up the kids and headed up to Pineview Reservoir for one last swim in the autumn sun.

 

Empty beaches, water, a giant log and warm air, what more could the kids want?

The autumn colors seem out of place with the kids playing out in the water.

 

 

October, it's been real, real nice.

This is a free beach at Pine View Reservoir, about 2 miles north of Huntsville and it is GORGEOUS.

(if you reach middle inlet beach, you have gone too far. This is also a great beach but it is a fee area. The free beach has no signs, it's just a parking lot)

What to Bring

  • There are many fee areas at Pineview, but this is a free beach. Many people ask me the name, it has no name, but it has a large parking lot at bathrooms. It is just south of Middle Inlet Beach. 

    There is a bike path that goes for miles, starting in Huntsville and going to Eden. This path runs along the lake. It passes a small creek parking lot first, then the free beach, then Middle Inlet and on to Eden.
