The place itself is nice and it too crowded and has a beautiful landscape. However it is polluted, there was trash every where in even when I was swimming I had to watch out for trash. There were chips bags and pizza boxes floating down the river. Beside the fact that it is polluted it is beautiful and nice.

  • Suzanne Huff

During the week, hardly anyone is there. Especially if you go in the morning and leave around 3 pm. Beat the traffic. Great way to beat the 100 degree temps..float in the water. Bring a rope to tie up to otherwise the current takes you down. They've added more port potties to make it more convenient.

This place is so beautiful! The water is freezing cold but still nonetheless we will return. Everyone was spaced out and I'm glad we purchased our entry online because when we got there there were signs saying the park was at full capacity, highly recommend u purchase online

Beware of spurs!! Great spot to hang and eat by the water, but it’s riddled with thorny spurs that are on a whole different level. Def bring strong water shoes and def do not bring your dogs (unless they have proper footwear). Better in the summer …

  • Hamza Saigol

Loved the park and the benches were real convenient. Came here on a gorgeous day with a lovely breeze blowing. Only thing that scared me was the abundant ant hills as we had kids running around and we had to keep a very close eye on where they stepped.

  • Emily Wiley

Love this park and water access. If you see a friend with a glass bottle, please discourage them using it in the park. Every time we are here, in a 4 foot section of the shore, we find tons of broken glass in the water. This is very dangerous and evil!

  • Aniket Deshpande

Beautiful outside place for a day picnic. They have nice lawn you can relax a beach where kids can play. They also have bbq grills for public to use. Just that they dnt jave enough restrooms and also they are far apart. Weekends parkings are full.

  • Cameron Snow

Beautiful area to have a gathering, party, picnic, or bbq! Lovely grass everywhere, tables and benches to sit at and eat, bbq's for cooking! Plus right on the water, making for an easy way to cool off and swim. Lovely views, beautiful place

  • L H

Wow! So beautiful. If you have a taste for lakefronts, camping and outdoors in general this is the place. Big open spaces. Enough parking for everyone and its only $10 for the weekends which is a steal! Have a splash, cook a little bbq,

  • Jerame Cramer

Nice park next to the lake. Picnic tables and restrooms. Swimming area. Boat launch. Camping and RV hookups available. Not much else. Dogs on leash allowed. Ten dollar entry fee a bit steep given the limited amenities.

I went here with my group of friends and we had such a peaceful moment there. The view was beautiful and the water was so clear. I hope it will keep this way.
