A lot less foot traffic than other places. People looking for a quiet and peaceful time will like it here. Not a very difficult trail and good for a quick workout.

Dropped in here twice in a month to go down the river. Clean, Easy to get in and out. Great fun.

It's a small hike (with all your gear, it can be cumbersome) to the river's edge, but it's all good from there. It's easy to get in because of the concrete stadium steps they have going right into the water. Nice slow float, with a few stops along the way (there's a 20-25 ft cliff that you can jump from at about the halfway point), and it lasted about 2 hours. We did paddle through the small rapids that pop up from time to time, so that may have made it go quicker than others experience. It was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon in August.

At the Powers Island unit there is a grass area with picnic tables near the buildings that would work. It is sometimes a staging area for people that bring their own rafts. The parking lot is paved. As of right now, the restrooms are still closed but there is a drinking fountain you can get to. If you Google maps the address and look at the satellite view you will be able to see the area.
