Spot Details

-There is plenty of parking, depending on the water levels you may have to walk a few hundred feet to get to the waters edge.
there is a large flat grassy area to get rigged up, it can be very boggy so it is not good for a land boarding session.
the water is shallow and for the mountains the wind is not that gusty. I would not say it is a beginner space, but there are plenty of days where it could be.
