★★★★★VA 7707The staff there is very helpful. They were patient and explained in detail the activities that are coming up they even had suggestions on how we can save money by using our own kayaks/equipment. We definitely plan on participating in the near future. And you should too. This is a great way to have fun, exercise, fellowship and relaxation for the whole family.
★★★★Sandrine Masseron-TillerThis place is a gem! Purchased a season pass this year… it’s a great deal if you plan on going every weekend. My only complaint is that I wasn’t able to use it during the week over the summer. The park is a great place to bring your kids to escape the heat. (Dog friendly as well! 🐶🐾 *they provide life vest for your furbaby as well.)
★★★★★Loralyn HansenWas a beautiful day in a beautiful place. Very well kept. Relaxing. Great paddle boat, kayak, paddle boards you can rent. They also have life jackets you can rent. Picnic areas, nature hikes... a definite 👍🏼 👌 will visit again.
★★★★★Jackie BustillosThis is the perfect place for beginners either kayaking or SUP. Very clean facility. Has shaded areas with picnic tables. Parking $8. We brought our own kayaks. Had a picnic in a small secluded area away from the main launch area. Not crowded at all. Would highly recommend.
★★★★★Emily TorresMy new favorite place! We came on a hot Sunday, paid $8 to park and brought our own kayak (inflatable). It wasn't crowded, plenty of parking and easy to get on and off the water. There was a lot to explore and our dog loved it! The water isn't the best, but far from the worst. We will definitely be back!
