Beautiful spot to go for public access to the river. KEEP THE PARK AND RIVER CLEAN PLEASE! Everyone was fun and friendly except for the one guy looking to ruin everyone's day by blatantly fishing where all the tubes float... it was really weird.

Beautiful day for fishing and believe it or not swimming! My girls were so happy to be here! Park is well kept with bathrooms and pic nick tables available. Note: don't bring your own grills just use the ones there.
