Sandy beach in Dayton

My girl friend told me about a sandy beach she found in Dayton when she and her family went for a hike. It is real close to our house and is complete with sand, sea shells and a man made waterfall/dam. We are always looking for new places to hike and this place was an easy walk from the kids' school. We stayed on a dirt road the entire way.
The kids collected shells, threw sticks in the water and dug holes in the sand. Reminded me of when we would go to the ocean in Mendocino County in the winter time. Of course it wasn't as beautiful as the ocean. I imagine we will be spending some time here this summer. I wonder how much water this little beach will have then being that the river in Dayton often has a trickle amount of water flow.
The wind picked up on our walk back to the car and we were freezing wishing we had our winter coats. The spring like weather we have been enjoying is turning back to winter this weekend.
