Is this place currently still open ? I try to call , but it goes to a public works number. What are good hotels to stay near this site ?

It is still open The closest one is next to the rest area about 1 mile away

Absolutely it's open, I would suggest getting there early though! A great place to spend the day.

Go! Its so fun. Water is very cold just take your time getting wet. Once you adjust you don't notice the cold anymore. Take something to float on and goggles to see the bottom.

Yes it is. It also has a boat ramp there.
