User reviews
"This secluded shoreline may require a bit of exploration, but it's definitely worth the effort. For optimal parking, head to the college campus located uphill to the North. While making your way down to the beach, keep in mind that certain parts of the path can become muddy during the winter months. Remember to bring a trash bag and a leash for your furry friend."

"Fascinating! I have never come across the name Babcock in my four decades of residing in this locale. However, I am aware that the Babcock family possesses a significant amount of land in the vicinity, which is commonly known as Hare Creek Beach. I had always assumed that it was accessible to the public and designated as such."
