Very crowded and chaotic at the launch area. With the uptick in usage in recent years, it would be wonderful to see an expansion of the dock and launch facilities. But a beautiful experiece as usual once out on the water!

I overheard an angler saying they caught a few bluegill. You can see quite a lot of small fish near the dock and towards the bridge. It's also known for bass and trout and has quite a few large carp.

Is ther a fee to park here? Is there much parking in general here?

Parking is $10. It's a decent lot with an unpaved gravel area adjacent, but it still fills up quick on hot weekend days. Go early!
