Great place to take the kids. Water was calm and not too cold
Small picnic park with river access. Picnic tables provided and spaced nicely apart in the upper area, near the gravel parking area. Grounds around the tables could use some trimming love. There is a short gravel 'road' to the river below the picnic areas. (The road has a couple of nice ruts at the bottom and outlets onto the river gravel bar that is not tightly packed. Four wheel drive and a few inches of clearance recommended!). There is a swimming hole (unmarked) along the opposite side of the river and enough area for several groups to hang. If there are vehicles involved, I could see the area getting crowded in a hurry as the drivable area is limited to the left of the road across. To the right is fairly steep loose gravel. Some pretty rocks in and along the river and pretty river scenes to be enjoyed. Writing this at the end of May 2021 and still saw lots of +®um¶ signage on the road to the park.
