Though the state park contained within the 2 main highway entrances is a nice place to visit anytime of year, I'm going to speak on the boat launch which is down the highway a mile or so. It's a real decent place to go even if you are not launching a boat. It's got trails around it and bluffs up and down the river though be careful with them as they appear to be crumbly. No camping or campfires for some reason? Has a bathroom and trash cans and is well maintained. If you're looking for a place to let the pets out to use the bathroom without worrying about the masses at the main park, this is it.
