Count on there being no parking within walking distance. It’s pretty though.

Great place to kayak and watch sunset

Great experience! My kids and I were able to have a unique little adventure on the water. We got to see swans, herons, geese, and other birds. The staff was friendly, safety oriented, and able to answer all our questions. I would definitely do this again.

Beautiful scenery. Lots of geese, swans and turtles. I walk around this area so it was great to see it from this point of view
