I stop here often while kayaking down the river. I recently took a walk here in winter and it was very quiet! There's not too much going on. You can walk almost 2 miles out to the campground and back to the parking lot. Great fishing spot as well. Summer season is packed, and a good place to put your kayak/raft in, or take out.

Wet busy and popular place. Very dog friendly. Trail forks off and both trails end in dead ends. Easy trails. Nice pretty area. At the end of the trail is a nice area with benches and bathrooms. Water looks nice and is deep and fast flowing. My dog did alert to something I couldn’t see in the trees. So do keep an eye out when you’re there.
