Buffalo Lake Recreation Area (also known as Boss Hill) has a sandy beach and shallow waters for bathing in the swimming area. Like the other beaches on Buffalo Lake, the water is usually clear in the early season with more algal growth in the latter part of the bathing season. The lake is one of very few lakes that pumps water from another natural source; Boss Hill receives water from the Red Deer River when water levels reach a certain minimum level. The beach has day use amenities such as a grassy area, picnic tables, and simple washrooms. A more rustic choice for an out-of-the-way beach but it's easy to access and is family friendly.
