My husband and I fish as often as possible, and we went by Long Cane Park a couple of weeks ago before the recent storms. The water level was low at that time, but the area has plenty of picnic tables and nice fishing spots. It's a great place to take a walk and get some fresh air with beautiful scenery.

My husband and I fish as often as possible, and we went by Long Cane Park a couple of weeks ago before the recent storms. The water level was low at that time, but the area has plenty of picnic tables and nice fishing spots. It's a great place to take a walk and get some fresh air with beautiful scenery. Very relaxing, not too crowded, and kept clean. Perfect for family gatherings and fishing (with boat ramps and nice shore fishing spots). I highly recommend visiting this location. We plan to go back soon and I will be sure to add some photos next time. 👍

This is a beautiful park that offers hiking trails and a very nice view. But speeders and the nude man in the ski mask turned me away.
