“Lots of parking! I attended sacred wave yoga stand up paddle board yoga classes. It was very easy to get into the water and it was not very crowded at all. It is a perfect spot for beginners. Whether you are paddle boarding or kayaking as the water in that area is very calm and there are not a lot of boats.”

“Wow! I knew some sort of construction was going on, but I had no idea of the extent. This place is gorgeous now. Gone is the gravel road and all the dust with it. A new paved road has replaced it. Trees have been cut down and cleared out. The area is really fish friendly now. A new boat ramp and lighting have been added. Count this as another great place for night fishing again.”
