Jarvis Lake Beaches (Campground and Day Use Area), AB

Jarvis Lake in William Switzer PP has two beaches. One of the beaches is at the campground and one beach at the day use area. Both beaches are sandy with clear shallow waters in the swimming areas. The water will be chillier in this part of Alberta but refreshing for most of the season. Both beaches have the usual PP amenities and are very popular on weekends so go during the week for peace and quiet. Photo by Kelly from Flickr. Other beaches in the area include day use beaches at Gregg Lake and 'Kelleys Bathtub'.William Switzer was a former MLA in Alberta.The beach and lake were not posted for the whole of the 2011 2012 and 2013 bathing seasons and the lake has historically good water quality.
