Budget tips
No entry fee, parking is usually free but bring small change for any boat launch or park machine; pack food to avoid local spending. Visit on weekdays to avoid weekend parking surcharges and crowded picnic tables.

About
Schnelle Fakten: Small flocks of herons and egrets hunt along the muddy banks, so bringing binoculars pays off for birdwatchers. Evenings sparkle with kayaks gliding past reed-lined shorelines, the water reflecting neon sunsets that make quick photos pop.
Highlights: A 200-foot wooden pier juts into the river, locals string about 100 tiny bulbs along its rails on warm nights and the smell of grilled seafood often hangs in the air. Once a year a loose crew of roughly 30 boaters launches a lantern float after sunset, paddling single-file with battery lanterns while singing off-key sea shanties under low clouds.
Insider tips
- Wear closed-toe shoes and sun protection, riverbank can be uneven and exposed.
- Bring binoculars and a telephoto lens for raptors and waterfowl, early morning yields the most activity.
- Park near the boat launch for quickest access to trails and fishing spots, spaces fill by mid-morning on weekends.
- Skip the busiest times by visiting weekdays or late afternoon, and bring a small cooler for a relaxed riverside picnic.
