Reviews
"This isy place to go after work.... sometimes... And let it all go bf I get home.... Easy walking and possibly good fishing in the spring"
"Really pretty and peaceful area. Great bluegill fishing."
"I paddled the sloughs in this area almost 50 years ago. The shade of the cypress and the calm waters are good for the soul. Slow down and take in all the things around you. Stop long enough to really see nature. It's an experience you will treasure for many years. Also, try paddling Pine Island Bayou above the salt water barrier."
"A launch site for Big Thicket National Preserve's Community Youth Paddling Program. Highly recommend for your youth group. Spent time in the water and got to do water testing afterwards."
"Clean nice view of the water."
