Water was very high. Many of the specs we were after were way back in the trees. It was a beautiful day to be on the water.

This is a beautiful park with a small pavilion. Most of the entertainment here is of the natural variety with hikes on the unpaved trails, views of the lake, watching the boats coming in and going out. The atmosphere is quiet and contemplative.

Nice little boat ramp, no dock though so loading people onto boats might be hard. Works well for jetskis though

The wilderness area here is currently closed. Lots of trash and trails are overgrown/underwater. Ill try visiting again when it is officially open and it hasnt rained in a while. The view of the lake from the boat ramp is nice, saw a couple alligators.

If you want a nice little picnic, and a relaxing walk on the trail, then you will enjoy this. We didnt see any alligators, which was what we came for. There are no bathrooms that we could find. The trees are beautiful and very unique. It is a nice place to take pictures.

Nice walking/hiking trails and beautiful wildlife. The birds here are amazing and plentiful. I came here with my three children and it was a fun time for all. Shoes get muddy so come prepared.

The park itself is more focused towards the boat ramp but there are tables and a pavilion. The palm trees in the park are perfectly spaced to set up a hammock though and its very shaded which makes it a nice place to come and relax.The hiking trails are alright but there are better ones on the east side of 417 (Marl Bed Flatts and North Tract)

This is a very nice area that has a boat ramp, picnic tables with pavilion and a trail to the conservation area.Unfortunately it doesnt have a bathroom which can be very inconvenient if you are there for a long time

Love this place. Unless you have a boat, its kinda pointless. Could be a good make out point by the water however.

Relaxing and easy to use boat ramp with plenty of room to park and maneuver

Review №38

This is mainly a boat launch. I wouldnt consider it a park where you would want to take the kids. We tried walking around checking things out, walking the trails and there were a lot of fire ant hills. I felt like the trail was not shaded and you need to watch out for gators... but if you own a boat then launch it here.

I wish there was a better place to tie up your boat because I see so many people fall, trying to get back in there boats or get stuck because they are on the sand bank.
