Reviews
"Not worth the hike, too much garbage, nothing to see.."
"This is the spot to go fishing with your best friend. I almost caught a fish seconds after throwing my line in. I’m not a very good fisherman however my bff caught several different fishes from catfish to bluegill and other fishes. There’s a variety of wildlife here. Watch out for the mosquitos be prepared to swat them away if you don’t have any mosquitoes repellent. On this amazing fishing spot there are restrooms for both men and women. The highway is in eyesight. Nice calming area to clear your mind and relax under the sun. Perfect"
"PRO: Peaceful, pretty, free, good place for fishing, has a boat/kayak loading/launch dock, ample parking, have some shade, easily accesible for handicaps. CON: Short trail, does have ticks so check your dog/s afterwards. RECOMMENDATION: Recommended for short stroll, fishing, kayaking."
"Quiet place where you can connect with nature. Hot during the summer"
"Excellent fishing. No keepers this day but had lots of fun catching Striped Bass."
