Hidden Beach

This hidden gem is centrally located in a busy city, though there are no sight lines to any roads or paths. This spot is off the beaten path enough that random people seldom find their way to this location. It really is a great area to enjoy nature without the hassle of leaving the city.

Depending on the time of year, the creek level may be high with fast flowing water, or shallow with a gently flowing current. There are deep spots suitable for a dunk to cool off on a hot day. The gravel bar offers ample room for a sizeable group to recreate and soak up some sun.

Hidden Beach has been used by CNR since the summer of 2020. Many of our members have returned multiple times and used this location by themselves without issue. Despite being extremely close to high traffic areas, Hidden Beach is surprisingly unused by others. The trail isn't apparent when walking on the well established nearby dirt paths, which makes Hidden Beach... well, nicely hidden.

The Glennfield day use areas and associated bike paths have a significant amount of traffic from other people enjoying Fish Creek Park. CNR does not anticipate this being an issue at any point in the future. The paths conveniently make for a nice bike ride as your mode of transportation to get there, though the last little bit will be walking with your bike. If coming from the north, we recommend following the river and then turning west in Fish Creek Park.

This spot is inaccessible from Canyon Meadows Drive due to a steep cliff, steep hillsides, and a creek crossing. Access Hidden Beach via the established paths on the south side of the creek near the Glennfield Day Use Area. If you are coming from the north side on foot or bicycle, the nearest place to access this location is HERE, which is also a bus stop. See the "directions" section below for more information.

As this location is new for nude recreation, we are interested in people's experiences with this location.
