Clover Beach is a Genessee County Park that is on the east side of Byram Lake off Linden Road.  The Beach is on the lake and there is another part of the park that lies on the other side of Linden Road that has trails and sledding/tobagganing hill.  Clover Beach is monitored by the county for water quality. 

It’s everything you’d want in a park: Ball diamonds and tennis courts, Byram Lake and Clover Beach, pavilions for relaxing and a trail for hiking. And when the snow comes, it’s a one-stop winter wonderland, with sledding and tobogganing, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. Welcome to Linden County Park, just one of your favorite Genesee County Parks.
