It's not permanent, but nonetheless neat stuff at The Silver Beach, er, Bean right now.
"Crazy, eh? We have a beach!," Silver Bean owner Andrea VanDerHerberg tells PTBOCanada. "It has happened other years as well. They bring the water level really low because they'll let a lot more water in soon and believe it or not it might still flood."
[UPDATE: It seems the beach is now gone already, as the water has risen several feet.]
