Nice spot! We didn’t have any trouble finding parking, even on a holiday. The river water wasn’t very clear, but people were still enjoying swimming. There’s about a 0.25-mile slope to get down to the river. A great place to spend the day. Bring a parasol, since there’s no shade—or at least I didn’t see any.

Had been for star gazing. They have got 2 telescopes and guide. The kids and adults alike had a great late evening session on watching star clusters and more.
