Independence Grove Beach, Beach in Lake County, United States

Independence Grove Beach is a swimming beach along the shore of a 115-acre lake situated within a protected forest area. The shoreline features sandy sections and designated swimming zones for visitors.

The site was transformed in 2001 from a former gravel quarry into a recreational destination through restoration and landscape development projects. This conversion converted an abandoned extraction site into a public recreation area.

The beach serves as a gathering place where visitors and local families spend time together by the water. It functions as a community space where people connect with the natural landscape and enjoy outdoor activities.

The beach is accessible from Memorial Day through Labor Day and has certified lifeguards during designated swimming hours. The best time to visit is typically in the afternoon when the water and air are warmest.

The location was created from a former pit that once supplied gravel for construction before being abandoned. The restoration of the site demonstrates how natural-looking lakes can develop where industrial extraction areas once existed.
