I came to swim, and this place is awesome. The boats don't get too close, you can snorkel, and the area has currents of warm and colder water, so you can choose what you want. There's a trail around the peninsula that has some nice rock walls on the East side. It's just a beautiful place (except for trash left by people).

Beautiful! Walk across the bridge to access the island for a nice hike. The water is clear and warm for swimming. Bathroom facilities are located at parking area, so go before you head out. Wish other people would pick up their garbage though. Everyone has to do their part to keep it beautiful.

Water was too shallow jump off the bridge but some kids still were! The water is friendly for dogs and there’s a trail you can walk. Not very scenic and it’s just a loop but still fun. The water was freezing so I may wait until July to go back.

Beautiful area! Perfect for families. There are a few tables and grills provided. Public restrooms attached to the parking lot at the start of the trail to the beach. Definitely a great place to spend the day.

This is the best walking trail, adventure we’ve taken since we moved up here. It is absolutely gorgeous. I feel really bad because it seems the park and facilities have fallen into disrepair. Someone needs to find a revamp of those place ASAP! The trails are overgrown, bathrooms were locked but you could tell they’d be nasty. There were a few abandoned buildings along the trail, and the suspension... This is the best walking trail, adventure we’ve taken since we moved up here. It is absolutely gorgeous. I feel really bad because it seems the park and facilities have fallen into disrepair. Someone needs to find a revamp of those place ASAP! The trails are overgrown, bathrooms were locked but you could tell they’d be nasty. There were a few abandoned buildings along the trail, and the suspension bridge needs some attention for sure. But, these things aside we absolutely loved it. Maybe some guard rails for the edge of the trails(some are a steep drop) and there’s some wash out of trails. The views are amazing, the air is fresh, the drive there is awesome. Definitely come check this out. And if you’re there, be sure to pick up some trash if you see it.
