This place was great needs a little bit of cleaning up but still cool just wear socks when your walking on the rocks in the water they are slippery

I grew up in this area and played in this water many times, that was years before it became a nature preserve. It is a beautiful place to take the family and you can make wonderful pictures, it is well kept and clean.

Great place for family and picnic. Free. Because of free no life guard, but there is a park ranger walks around. Must have water shoes. The bottom some places hard to see the bottom and full of slimy big rocks. Short area of sliding rock. Water creates a pool that children float after sliding rock then go back up again. Tubing. You can sit on it and go down very short distance. It is shallow and rocky bottom. Be aware and respect of the animals around you and don't step on Milipede and snacks.Look for semi precious rocks on sandy spots. Have fun.

Really bad place that is not maintained well. Shattered glass everywhere on trails and in a grass. Be carefull walking in open toe shoes. The place is full of trash. Plactic, liquer bottles, paper bags are everywhere. Some plastic maybe brought by the water but the highland trails are trashed too. The locals are not being nice to this place. The road to this place is also full of trash on both sides of the road. Tells a lot about people living here. If traveling, don't waste your time going there. You will have a huge disappointment.
