South Shore Park

South Shore Park is a beautiful 7 acre park featuring Bemidji’s largest beach. In the 1930s, the City of Bemidji purchased the site and started to develop the area as a beach. Workers from the National Youth Administration completed construction of this building, a beach house, in the early 1940s.

NuPly, a wood processing company, purchased the site in 1956, and the area was home to industry until 1999. From 2015-2016, the City of Bemidji conducted lake bed cleanup and refurbished the building for public use. The renovated park was opened to the community in June of 2017.

This park features a large swim beach, carry-in access, bike amenities including bike racks, fix-it station and bottle filler.
