Dave Brogan· 2 years agoThis is probably one of the nicest kayak launch sites in the country! No doubt, it was built for paddlers by paddlers. Very smart design. I appreciated the loading/ unloading zone and the hose to wash your equipment off. And the fire station at the park entrance was a bonus - I felt very safe. Looking forward to exploring the area more!
