No more beach front in Sylvan, apparently they used to dredge the sand up to make a beach. Due to environmental concerns and natural habitat they no longer do this. I was informed of this by a resident of Sylvan, no idea if it's the case. They have built a new grassed area which is nice, but no beach.
Aspen Beach on Gull Lake is nice, the beach at Gull Lake is nice too. Buffalo Lake has some nice beaches. Pigeon Lake has some good beaches too.
