Millstone Point Beach is a natural swimming beach located on the northeast end of Cheat Lake and is accessed via the Cheat Lake Trail. The beach is open Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend. The swimming area closes at sunset.

Cheat Lake Park hosts a variety of activities with a handicapped accessible walking trail, fishing platforms, children's playground, picnic area with restrooms, and even a fish cleaning station! The swimming beach was opened in 2011 by Cheat Lake Environment and Recreation Association (CLEAR) and is managed by the operator of the Lake Lynn Dam.

Directions: From the Cheat Lake exit on I-68, follow the signs for State Route 857 and turn left onto the highway. Then turn left onto Morgans Run Road. Be careful, as the road is narrow. Morgans Run Road ends at the Cheat Lake Trail's main parking area.
