Nice place to dive into the river however set your Car alarm ,do not leave ANY personal items unattended or one or both may disappear .

Cool chill hidden lil spot on the river but be warned it can get a bit ghetto and lil over packed on summer weekends but neither of those things bother me everyone is friendly and having a safe good time. Music, fishing, bbqn, drinks..fun environment just can be crowded on weekends in the afternoon popular boat docking spot ....

Had fun with my husband over the weekend. Very beautiful.

The kids LOVED it because there's sand and water. The adults didn't like it because it was littered with trash like cigarette butts and bottle caps and crowded with lots of people fishing which is strange- why would people with no kids want to fish in a super crowded area with kids playing in the water? The kids didn't want to leave but I never want to go back 😋
