About this swimming hole
Lake Nummy's north-side beach is Belleplain State Forest's designated swim area, with a bathhouse, restrooms, and concessions. Swimming is permitted from Father's Day weekend to Labor Day while lifeguards are on duty. A July 2026 visitor report noted the swim area was reduced and closed some weekdays amid lifeguard staffing shortages, so confirm current operations.
