Glen Lake Rotary Park formerly known as East Gallatin Recreation Area has a number of activity options. The 4 acre lake is popular for swimming, SUP, kayaking and fishing. The park also known by locals as Bozeman Beach has a sandy beach area & diving dock as well as picnic shelters, volleyball court, pavilion, climbing rock & grassy areas. There is a 1.7 mile loop trail with only a 16 foot elevation. The trail is popular with walkers, runners & bikers.
The area was once a gravel pit and the city dump. The land was transferred to the States Parks Department by Glen Hash, whose business owned the pit. The landfill site was later converted into a recreation area and awarded the national "Take Pride in America " award.
December 2018, a 50 year lease was signed allowing the city to manage the park which is on state owned land. Part of the lease agreement called for the park to be renamed as Glen Lake Rotary Park.
The park is open year round 7am-10pm, Sunday-Saturday.
Please enjoy this beautiful park surrounded with the Bridger Mountains.
