Small sandy beach on alpine Paul Lake framed by forested hills and volcanic ridges — great for reflections, canoe/kayak activity, and intimate landscapes. Best at golden hour (sunrise warms eastern ridges; sunset casts color on west-facing water). Accessible via short walk from a small day-use parking area; summers are busiest, shoulder seasons offer solitude and fall color. No special permits for casual shooting; check park signage for fees and closed areas.
