Reviews
"Amazing spot to canoe kayak or paddleboad, play volleyball or just relax and enjoy the sunshine on the riverside. The Otter bar offers a broad selection of craft beer and wine with a food station outside. Well worth an afternoon trip."
"What nice place to see friends while having a cold beer and great food. The fish tacos are amazing. Nice art shop with works by fantastic artists. Two things could be improved. 1. More parking. It is limited and fills quickly. 2. More comfortable chairs. They fill even quicker and no one leaves them for hours. 3. Spray the trash buckets as the yellow jackets are everywhere and those with sting allergies could be in big trouble I will continue to go, but much earlier in the day."
"We had such a fantastic time here. I will be telling all my friends who paddle about this place! Also from someone who comes from Buffalo check out the food truck!!!! They are the first place I've seen in three years that has pizza logs!!!!"
"A great way to get on the river and spend some time outside. Entrance and parking is usually way easier than the state park entrance, but fees are probably similar. Rent or bring your own kayaks or paddle boards. The bar and grill are also great to full up after being on the river. The cabana rentals also look like awesome!"
"It is a great place to be here all day. If you rent a cabana (like we do for parties) it is really awesome. You have a solid shaded place and plenty of room to put everyone’s stuff. The water is Crystal clear and chilly 70 degrees. It’s a beautiful place. Community gas grill are available. There is a full bar that has very reasonable prices. You can’t bring your own alcohol so be prepared to buy drinks. Bring some cash for entry. I think it like under 5$ per car unless you have a cabana. There is a food tuck here for good hamburgers and chicken and some other stuff. Volleyball court and kayak and canoe rentals are available. If it’s a busy weekend, be here by 9am because it gets filled up quick and it may be at capacity. You kayak in the native windy river to springs and it’s just like being in native Florida. 100% worth spending a day here especially if you can rent kayaks and spend time on the river. Clean restrooms and. All staff is very friendly. It’s a really cheap alternative to Disney or a hotel pool if you have a family and want to hang out beer the water."
