Customer Reviews
It was a really pretty day, kind of hot. This was my first trip to Lake Monroe. I visited Fairfax Station Recreation area which has a reservoir and a beach. There were families and other groups of peopl
Nice place to relax & rent paddle board or kayak. The staff were awesome to rent from. A few trails by the pavilion across the road from the beach that are easy, but one area needs mowed a little better. Make sure to use bug & tick spray.
Had a $7 fee to get in, then the bathroom/beach house was all locked up so we couldn't even change into suits. The beach was murky and beach "sand" just lots of little rocks and shells. May be normal for the area, not sure. The kids enjoyed it but changing in a room would've been cool. 90° out and the beachcomber still locked!
Fun and beautiful place. Has a little beach with a safe area to swim. A lot of neat nature including Bald Eagles, Red tail Hawks, Snakes, Deer and of course fish.
Apparently the beach can be used as a boat ramp now when the water is high.
