Quiet place with plenty of wildlife to see. Fog friendly, just keep out of the water. Plenty of places to picnic along several marked trails. Canoe launch too.

It was peaceful, not crowded at all and clean. The fishing sucked but to be fair I couldn't get a bite in a bass pro shop aquarium. 😂 I'm positive anyone else will have better luck there. Be a good spot for a picnic , birthday party or small wedding/reception. DNR has a cabin not 200yrds away so act accordingly 🚔

Saw gators as soon as we parked at the trail head! There were tons of trails to choose from and places to fish as well.

I'm not sure exactly how long they are. But they are not real long. But you could string a couple trails together and get over 5 miles.

Greetings! Would we be able to park a car and boat trailer to use as a take-out location for kayaks? We were thinking of putting in at Conway and kayaking to Cox Ferry. Thanks!
