Parking lot with adjacent covered pavilion, restrooms, grill, and beautiful view of the falls. A complete gem.

This was pretty cool! I was kind of amazed with the lock and dam. Watching these huge barges being raised or lowered was cool to me. I only wish that there had been an overlook that you could actually see down into the lock to see how everything works, but I assume with safety issues and concerns that it is not possible. The area was kept clean and well maintained. I certainly enjoyed my time here... This was pretty cool! I was kind of amazed with the lock and dam.

Cute picnic area with good cell reception and tables (water is shut off), gates lock at night. Boat ramp open 24/7 with bathrooms and 30 parking spots, day pass instructions posted, but Verizon reception is limited.

Great place to picnic. Pavilion with tables, close by restrooms. Hosts on site maintain park at very high standards. Worth the trip.

Nice picnic area by the lock. It was interesting to see the wood carvings in the woods.
