"Rebuilt and very nice 7/14/2024. Great place to sit and relax maybe watch the sunset. Bathrooms available, hiking trails, there is a boat ramp and I have seen a lot of kayaks launch from here. Close to Cedar Key so great to be able to visit the Cedar key area then go over here. There is a camping area right down the road. Although I don't know the fees. It looked well maintained, with another boat ramp. This pier dock was just rebuilt after Hurricane Idalia so it is really nice. Gravel parking areas and I saw a handicapped spot. The ramp is accessible for persons with disabilities also. There are bathrooms. Overall a nice day trip. The views are really incredible here. Lot of Marsh land. From the pier you can see the Shell Indi an Mounds also."
"This place is a great treasure for local people. And doesn't need to be ruined by the hustle and bustle of some YouTubers trying to make it popular."
"Beautiful, quiet place to watch the sunset. There is a bathroom facility and parking."
"What a beautiful view... Watch airboats and kayakers go by. Fish from here on the pier, saw one crab, don't know how good the crabbing may be... Take a moment and try to imagine being one of the Native Americans that lived here around the year 1,000..."
"Small but lovely and peaceful nature trail. Includes several placards to explain the history of shell mound and some of the flora and fauna. Basically 2 small hiking trails. Nearly all flat except the shell mound itself. Includes a fishing pier."
