Boater Reviews
Water levels made easy access for kayaks , great since was our 1st time. Quiet and no people. Saw turtles, great blue heron, ospreys.
Nice boat ramp to launch our kayaks, it’s a beautiful area. Water level was very good for us but according to other reviews, it’s not always high enough to navigate a boat. Access area was very clean including the bathrooms. We would come back here.
Access is difficult from 74, but that might be part of why it was so quiet. Water doesn't move unless it has rained recently so 2-stroke film sticks around for a long time. Good parking, vault toilets, and dock is in great shape.
Love it. My favorite place to put in my boat and especially my kayaks.
It was great water was low but it was more peaceful for us kayaking. Right now I would only put in kayaks and canoes.its not deep enough for bigger boats.
