This is a nice double launch boat landing with plenty of parking spaces. You can fish off the bank or launch your boat kayak canoe and try your luck in the river. Beautiful scenery so even if you don’t fish just relax and enjoy the river.

Nice boat ramp, no much trash laying around. But in terms of kayaking it’s probably not the best due to how fast the current moves.. it’s a huge fast against the current
