“Had an amazing day on the water here! It wasn't overly crowded everyone was friendly and the ease of kayak access was everything I had hoped for. Also there were a lot of huge turtles, and nice little coves we were able to kayak to. On another note, everyone is right about parking, get there early if you can!”

“1:00 got there at 1:00 p.m. on a Sunday and the parking lot was full. Had to park about a quarter of a mile down the road in the overflow parking lot. Other than the limited parking, it's a great place. Put your kayak or paddle board in. They have a handicap Launchpad there also.”
