Wilson Bay! Perfect lunch spot. Better yet have a date there. It’s relaxing and beautiful. Easy access and free with bathrooms close. Take a fishing pole and have a nap. Ahhh go check it out. You’ll thank me later!

Park was relatively clean and easy access to the water for fishing. Not a ton of parking and was nearly full. Note: no crabbing at this location

Beautiful place to take pics by the water. But needs more toys for kids to play on. Children seem to get bored easier then some of the other parks. This park is more for the grownups.

It was absolutely beautiful! Great place to sit and relax. I only gave 4 stars because the water fountain and bathroom sink didn't work

Can you bring alcohol?

I do not know the correct answer for the question. You can call Onslow Parks and Recreation Office and ask. If it is a party, you may also be able to reserve the covered shelter that is there.

Are you allowed to bring dogs and have them be off leash it shows up as off leash park in the search

For your protection and your pup's fate, it's a law, your fur baby is safer on a leash. Although dogs are allowed at this Park, mainly due to the neighborhood, the better part for you and canine would be Northeast Creek or Onslow Pines Park. They're larger with now room for play. Good luck and enjoy the park.

Fishing is not good. Shallow bay, but occassionally holds a few flounder and drum.

No swimming, no crabbing. The water is brackish anyway and the bottom is super mucky.

Is the water fresh or salt?

Wilson Bay is what's called "brackish" water. Fresher after a rain event and saltier with no rain. The actual salinity of Wilson Bay runs from 4 ppt to as high as 25 ppt. I worked water quality 15 years in that river, I know what I am talking about.
