Beautiful natural area with modern amenities and facilities such as restroom, covered picnic table and barbecue pit, ample parking, waking paths, boat ramp, and plenty of places to sit to fish comfortably! Groomed grassy areas where kids can run and play while the parents fish. Lovely forested cliffs rise up on one side of the Salt River that make for beautiful photography!
