"9/11/2024 I happen to end up here after eating breakfast in the area and it was so relaxing and peaceful. The weather was perfect and so was the scenery, the only issue I had was none of the bathrooms was open even though the workers said it was recently fixed and someone else had to come open them. There's plenty of parking and a boat ramp it's also a great place to do some jogging or just walking."

"What's not to love? 3 or 4 restaurants almost in the water, lol. Plentiful free street parking. A lot you pay for is steps away from restaurants. Lovely sunsets on the water! Peaceful spot in this city to exercise, eat & drink. Shhhh - keep it a secret, lol. Get there!"
