Swimming & Pavilion Rentals at Sandy Bottom Beach
For more information on beach availability, pavilion rentals and summer swim lessons, visit our Parks page.
Honeoye Lake Aquatic Vegetation Management Program
The Ontario County Planning Department administers an aquatic weed harvesting program that is designed to remove phosphorus from Honeoye Lake, limiting nutrients that feed algae. It also reduces "nuisance vegetation" that impedes recreational use of the lake.
For more information on the program, visit Ontario County's Honeoye Lake Aquatic Vegetation Management Program page or download the documents at the bottom of the page.
NYSDEC Algal Bloom Notices
The NYS Department of Conservation tracks information collected during routine lake monitoring and submitted by volunteers and public reports to track the presence of blue-green algae blooms. Swimmers are encouraged to refrain from contact with algal blooms. To check on the current reported status, visit the NYSDEC Blue-Green Algal Bloom Notice page.
The Town of Richmond is unable to advise on conditions of
lakeshore areas beyond Sandy Bottom Beach. For information on
conditions at rental properties, please contact your rental agent.
