Olbrich Beach

Olbrich Beach is a public bathing area along Lake Monona with a wide sandy section and multiple spaces for recreation. Throughout the grounds, visitors find volleyball courts, dining tables, and seating areas with views of the water.

The beach became part of the broader Olbrich Park system that was developed to serve Madison's recreational needs. Since its establishment, it has remained an important community hub for water-based activities and outdoor leisure.

This lakeside spot brings together families and friends from Madison for summer gatherings and recreational activities. The open space and water create a natural meeting point where visitors spend time together outdoors.

The beach is easy to access and has restrooms and changing facilities available during the swimming season. Arriving early helps secure a good spot, especially on pleasant weekends when crowds gather.

The lake undergoes regular testing to ensure water cleanliness and visitor safety throughout the swimming season. This ongoing monitoring gives swimmers confidence that conditions remain suitable for bathing.
