Well maintained as always! Big beautiful sandy beach (also has grassy areas for picnicking). The water is great, not too many weeds or claims. Perfect place to swim or just relax near the water. Continues to be one of my favorites!

A soft Sandy Beach the water is very shallow and very kid friendly.

This is a fantastic park for day use (no camping). There is a nice sandy beach with some shaded areas, a nice play scape for the kids, large grassy areas for large groups, grills everywhere and an awesome view of the mountains. It gets very busy here though, beware.

This is a great day use park without camping. Plenty of parking and lots of space. There is a playground for little ones and the shallow water is perfect for stress free sun time for the adults.There are plenty of bbq grills, but no tables. There are 4 or 5 porta potties around. Theres lots of shaded space for hot days. It is a pack in, pack out park, so please dont litter.The fee is $4 for adults and $2 for kids 3-12. Kids under 3 are free! This park is quickly accessible to many nearby towns and does get pretty busy at times.Please be safe and socially distance.Overall, a great spot that only lacks open water swimming for adults. A fun place to spend the day with the family outside. Plan ahead and bring what you need, like chairs and a table.

Great place to spend the day, picnicing, enjoying the large sandy beach or paddle a kayak and exploring the Lamoille River .

Its nothing but seaweed and clamshells. Dont waste your time if you want to swim. I cut my foot on a shell. Everything else is amazing, as to be expected.

Great spot for the kids to go and hang out by the water. While the grown ups BBQ and hang out on the picnic table..great beautiful place..

A great place to ride your motorcycle to and then relax on one of the benches facing the lake

Very nice spot on the water. Can be crowded on weekends, but is perfect for families

Natural peaceful setting. Wading water and picnic area.

The Sandbar state park is a fun little spot. Great for barbecues. There are tons of public grills all over the place. You can walk out several yards into the water and reach the sandbar where its much more shallow and then as you walk further it gets deep again. And you can correctly assume thats how the name came about. Watch out for water snakes and angry geese. Only complaint is that some people are inconsiderate and take their dogs off-leash has and they run around which can be a nuisance especially when you have small children.

Water was warm and it was a beautiful day, but no picnic tables due to Co~video, so bring some chairs and a little table if you are gonna bbq!

Great area. Huge beach with lots of sand and q playground for the kids

No pets allowed. Nice area.

Its nice and all loads of spece for BBQs but I would not swim in the water. It is super mucky and too warm on hot days.

Usually go to this beach every other summer with my family. Cousins and all! The views are beautiful and calming. One time my cousins and I were chasing seagulls along the beach! I totally recommend. Seriously, come on down. See you there! (Maybe? :>) Bye! Thank you.Btw, heres a solution to the knee-deep problem:Simply swim out a little bit. Yes, itll take you a little while, but its worth it! While youre walking/swimming to a deeper spot splash each other and make contests!A million sticks problem:Well, if you really want to fix this problem youre gonna have to spend a few minutes on it. Pick up sticks on the sand and place them in a pile. It would be best if that pile wasnt near a bunch of people- or even a few people (:>). This would really show an act of kindness and generosity!Bug problem:Bug spray!!!Oh btw, the beach is a really nice spot to be in June and July. And at the beginning of August! You may or may not have known that. (sorry)Going to the Sandbar this summer! Are you going?Bye!!ps. Remember to bring Sun Screen. :) Dont burn!

Soft Sandy bottom shallow water (waist deep on an adult) clean facilities and an ice cream truck on the weekends. Paddle boards kayaks and canoes for rental. Plenty of parking and handicap accessible. Not ideal for a grown-up open water swim but perfect for anything else!

Great beach, public bathrooms could have used a little work.

Very pretty, nice place to sit and think.

B.E.A.utiful, peaceful, BBQ grills, playground and on some days Sisters of Anarchy ice cream (bring cash). Sun on the sand, let kids play in the long shallow water zone, or rent a stand-up paddle board.

One of my favorite family friendly beaches in Vermont. The shallows are great for my little splashers. Plus they have a big playground!

Water is near deep water so stays pretty clean.

Sand Bar is one of my favorite beaches in Vermont.

Not a real sandbar, but our son Ron Ron had fun

That is an awesome beach with a great view for sunset during summer... I suggest people driving this place during summers in the evening before sunset and wait for sunset

Beautiful day, water was very warm. Facility very clean

Sandbar is a great park for the whole family, friends, company picnics. Its great for the young and old. Ive been going since I was a little girl, and where Ive taken my kids, and now go with my kids and grandkids. Its good for picnicking, swimming, boating, etc. Love going up, taking the grilling items and sides after a day of work and relaxing at the lake and just enjoying my time with whomever Im with. Has a nice play area for the little ones as well. A definite place to go and check out if youre in the area, or make plans to spend the day. Its worth it.

Great place to spend the day with family. Plenty of picnic tables in the shade. The kids loved both the water and the sand. Nice clean restroom facilities. Remember to bring BUG SPRAY!!! Only complaint is the total lack of garbage cans at the park. The only ones we found were tiny home-sized trash cans in the restrooms.

Great views, good fishing

Very pleasant, relaxing beach. The shade trees along the shore make it easy to stay out of the sun while you enjoy the view. The water is warm and shallow, perfect for small children. The paddle board and kayak rentals make it very tempting to try a new sport.

Great! Clear waters, sandy bottom. Plenty of room to spread out if you go early and plenty of shady spots if you need it. There are also grills available for cooking. There are bathrooms and changing stalls that are reasonably clean.

This is my favorite spot for swimming and getting out of the city.

It was ok the Siegels were bad

Nice place to be with nature.

Lots of parking. Clean place and a good outdoor adventure

Saw this beach rated as the best swimming spot in NW Vermont, which if true is a sad state of affairs. The water only gets calf-high before its completely choked with duckweed and other fun stuff. The kayak rentals were completely unstaffed for the 4 hours we were there in the middle of the day. Water was at least clean, and so were the facilities.

Pretty little day use area for picnics

Very dirty, buggy, and hard to get to a calming moment. Kids seemed to be having a good time. Ive been in the past, and had a better time. Maybe its too soon in the season.

I prefer a pool over any beach water in VT lately. So its not their fault by any means. They do have some nice places to have outings and some of the sand is nice

Sandy, warm, shallow, family oriented park.

Nice beach for hanging around on the sand, but no good for swimming - stays knee deep for hundreds of yards. Good for kids to play in the shallows I suppose!

Loved it! Great state park employees and lots of fun things to try! Clean and very nice. Will be back!

Many people mentioned how small this beach was before I visited it, but I actually enjoyed its size! This beach has plenty of benches and space for people to lay their towels down or set up their own spot. My friends and I really enjoyed playing volleyball with the net provided and played some frisbee in the grass which was spacious and somewhat shadowed. There were definitely more families around than in other popular beaches like North Beach making it quieter than most but we found it to be relaxing and fun nonetheless. People did not seem bothered by our laughing and games.One of the times we went there was an icecream truck that was somewhat pricey but tasted heavenly.The only downside to this beach for us was the $4 fee per adult to enter and that cash is the only accepted method of payment.

Great spot on the lake. I often launch my kayak here

NOTE that there is NOT a snack bar or any place to purchase food at this State Park.

Favorite spot as a child and this.summer we had a special gathering of close family.it was clean lots of space nice gettaway

Great pkace to go with family and friends. Water and park is very clean. There are showers and bathrooms available. Bring your own food charcoal for the many grills and you are good to go. Dont forget aluminium foil to cover the grills some may be older than others.

This place is usually not so crowded. Water is Shallow enough to play with small kids

Very big and Sandy,lots of birds and swamp animals,fishing,great view,huge swamp next to it

Great for kids.

Cool park with a nice beach. You can rent kayak and paddle board and its only 4$ per adult to get access to the park.

Nice quiet spot right off the highway. Water was clean and the area was beautiful!

They should have free parking

Nice little spot though it needs some outdoor shower posts to rinse off sand and whatnot.

Just beautiful scenery I love the lake

If you just want a place to get in the breeze and enjoy the fresh air this is it. Not to far from town and places to pull off and fish near the road.

Bugs were awful we had to leave. They would coat your body in seconds. Sand was so full of sticks. Definitely arent maintaining it like they did before.

Awesome place to camp. Nice clean bathrooms and you cant beat the price.

It is a nice place to go for a time of relaxing and enjoying the water. Plenty of shade and picnic tables.

We come here often with my family. The park is always clean (you carry your own trash out).

Very spacious, clean well shaded if ya want shade sunny if ya want sun.

We had a great time, I only wished that it could be sprayed for (sand flies) that bite.

I enjoy this park! Its a family friendly beach/park w a playground, BBQ grills all over, and an ok beach. The only reason I didnt give this place 5 stars is because there is a lot of invasive species growing in the water and that can be annoying and to some, enough to stay out of the water. Staff are awesome here and this place is well maintained and bathrooms are usually clean!!

Nice staff, fun kayak rental. Water nice. Little green bugs annoying.

It was 100 degrees out! Much needed relief! Thank you!

Superb for little ones as the water is quite shallow for some distance. Great view of the Adirondacks, long stretch of beach and good facilities. Kayak and canoe access the Lake Champlain

Fantastic for kayaking! When the waves are not so choppy...

This is a great spot, with a nice white sand beach to lay out on. Be sure to bring your own picnic lunch or grill supplies as concessions are minimal. There is some good wind off this beach and its a popular wind surfing and kite boarding spot for locals. Be cautious when approaching by boat as it gets shallow fast and there are swim areas. Lots of recreational activities at this park including v ball, horse shoes, Frisbee, etc.

Beautiful roomy park, massive beach, tall and fun playground

Lovely location currently closed due to high lake water.

Great fir bbq horseshoe pits clean beach

A good place to go for a day trip with the kids

Awesome little beach and so inexpensive for the day.

Way to much seaweed

Beach is great for smaller kids as the water is very shallow for a long distance. Bring a picknick a throw ball... enjoy the swings or grills and also have boat rentals on the weekends.

Lovely place to relax and go for a swim or BBQ

Nice spot!

If you want to go to a peaceful scenic park on the water with amazing views this is a wonderful place.

Lake meets land. Nice place to enjoy it.

It was so quiet and peaceful would recommend

Beautiful and quite this time of year.

My children love this park. They enjoy the sand and the playground. Its very family oriented, but can get VERY busy. Prefer going on the off hours.

Clean, nice state park. I love that they have little wagons for you to bring stuff from your car to the beach or tables. Lots of shade.

Great place for family gatherings.

Beautiful state park. Sorry we could not get in the water. Will go again

Clean family friendly beach. This used to be the spot for summer parties. The beaches are sandy (though watch out for zebra muscles in the water) and the water itself is generally free of aquatic plants in the swim zone. There are spots for horseshoes, volleyball, badminton, disc and other games. Plenty of picnic areas so you dont feel crowded. For those who dont like the sun, there is plenty of shade and grassy play areas too. Bathrooms and snacks on sight.Another neat feature is you can moor you boat for the day and arrive via water. I recall my grandfather bringing us in on his boat and taking us out tubing past the no-wake zone. Great little spot, the beach is certainly MUCH cleaner than other Burlington beaches (both in terms of water quality, litter, and people).

Great place for the kids. Water is very shallow. Well upkept . Grills for cooking. Picnic tables, playground area.

Great state park for hanging out by the beach, at least as beachy as it gets on a large lake. Convenient access from the road. Could use more concessions, but people generally take their own picnic stuff.

I love the sand bar and weve been going for years but now we find lots of garbage and dead fish , its sad to see the beautiful lake Champlain that I used to so freely swim in as a child turn into a questionable place for me to want my children. If anyone knows of anything different please advise me.

Very Nice place. Free access if you camp in another state park (ex: Grand Isle state park) at 10min.

Really great beach area, where the sandbar extends for several hundred feet and it says 3-4 feet deep for that period. Park is nicely maintained. You do have to pay the state park entrance fee to get in.

I have been to the SandBar State Park many times and the staff is always very friendly in the park is always very clean. I dont believe I have ever had a bad experience in any Vermont State Park.

Beautiful!

Fun sandy beach. Nice play ground and shallow warm water. Hope you dont mind sea weed.

Awesome?

Highway rest area usage for me. Great little spot to pull off and chill...txt/email life away. Im sure park is swell as is ice fishing

Beautiful. No other description needed.

Large park with plenty of beach, a lot of tables, and grills. Clean bathrooms, also. A great place to hang out for the day!!

Beautiful view of lake

Beautiful beach with nice shady picnic tables. The kids loved all the frogs which lined the parking lot. Spectacular place to watch the sun set.
