This is a pretty nice park with modern amenities and a fun view of the bridge. As you can see from our photos, we stopped by on a Wendy overcast day so we only stayed about 30 minutes.

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Great boat launching and parking. Also use the park for family activities, or just take a long walk on the walking path.

Very clean quiet park. Was there for a family reunion. The facility that was rented was very nice. Outside always clean and beautiful.

It's a very beautiful place with lots of paths to walk or jog. I went there to fish and found a nice area and caught a speckled trout from the shore using a large soft jig. Later I caught a croaker and then a flounder. I did this on 10/16/2025. My first time fishing out here.
