I was going here everyday with my dog at lunch time,great quiet place in cooler months! Unfortunately,the first week in December 2023 they closed the main gate to drive in !! No explanation?? So,across from main gate, you can park in a little dirt lot that's mainly used for hikers,and just walk in around gate! My dog "Louie" LOVES THIS PLACE!! Nice water views,and nature! Highly recommended!! I found out they close the gate in late Nov, early December so they don't have to remove any snow/ice!
