Customer Reviews
Not ideal for family swimming. Parking is up a steep hill from the river, so hauling a cooler is difficult. The concrete boat ramp has a 2-3 ft. dropoff above the water straight into the river. From the end of the boat ramp to dry land on the other side, you have to wade in thigh-deep water. However, it wasn't crowded. The fast-moving water is fun for older kids (4th grade and up.)
Great spot to drop into the river. It was a boat ramp down to water level. After a strong rain, the river was about waste deep at the end of the ramp and calm. The water is moving quick toward the tree line when you first push out into the current. River average was about 4' that day and made for about a 5-6 hour float to the US HWY 62 Bridge Public Access Area.
Beautiful spot to come hangout at for the day or camp for free for up to 7 days, Beautiful view over the river with plenty of fishing!
We stopped just to take scenic pics and use the restroom. It is a very beautiful area! The restroom was kinda odd, but it served its purpose and was clean.
Great spot to stretch your legs, coming or going from Tahlequah with great views of the Illinois River. There is a restroom (sometimes no toilet tissue) and boat access, also fixed grilling grates if you're planning on staying out for a little while.
