4 /5 Stephen G: A little rustic and a little out of the way.
However,
For the monitored $2 fee, you can stay for a day. There are showers and ok restrooms
Plenty of parking for those launching a kayak. Just dont block the road to the hiking trails
The hiking trails are about a mile long and very easy, but it is a day out in the woods
If you paddle here be sure to plan for a significant current
We went up stream for the start and paddled back in half the time with wind and water in our favor.
Even though its a bit of a ride from punta Gorda or Port Charlotte, I cannot wait to get back.
Lots of birds and even a few alligators make it even more interesting
