Collins Lake Beach, Sand beach in Browns Valley, Yuba County, US.
Collins Lake Beach is a sand beach located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains where a large reservoir sits. The shoreline offers swimming areas and sunny spots for relaxation, with picnic zones and parking available for visitors.
The reservoir was built in the 1960s as a water storage facility for Northern California, and the surrounding area developed into a recreation zone. Over time the shoreline became a destination where people could access the lake for leisure activities.
The beach serves as a gathering spot where visitors and local families spend time by the water during warm months. People come here to swim, relax, and enjoy outdoor meals together in a natural setting.
The beach opens daily and parking is available right by the shoreline, making it easy to access. Picnic tables and grills are spread throughout the area, allowing visitors to spend the whole day comfortably.
The shoreline has designated fishing spots where visitors can cast lines directly from the beach to catch trout, bass, and other fish. This draws anglers who want to fish without needing a boat.
