  The parking lot is dirt and gravel, maintained well enough for any vehicle. There is adequate parking for vehicles with trailers in the center of the lot, with plenty of other spaces around the perimeter. During busy/crowded times, there is roadside parking available on the road leading to the boat ramp. There are 2 porta potties.
  
  The boat ramp itself is paved, and angled to the driveway for easy backing-in. There is a floating dock immediately next to the ramp.
  
  There is a separate hand-launch area for canoes and kayaks, which is a sandy landing, and sufficient space for 4 boats to sit side-by-side. There is a vehicle pull-through nearby, so you don't need to move your boat more than 20'-30' to the launch.
  
  The grassy lawn is nice for sunbathers and swimmers. The swimming area is regularly weeded (invasive aquatic plants grow quickly here). It's a nice swimming area for children to use, shallow with a gradual slow, and sandy bottom. The metal steps with hand rail easy entry and exit for those who need it. There is a rope swing off of a concrete ledge, with a metal ladder. The drop is low enough for small children to safely jump off, but the rope swing is enjoyable for all ages.
  
  During most weekends when the area can get busy, there is always a law enforcement presence. It's nice for them to be there to keep the peace, as is sometimes needed in free areas where alcohol is permitted. However, I've only seen their services needed to warn swimmers of an alligator, and to remind people that dogs are not allowed.
  
  The water is all spring fed, clear and cool, year round. There is an abundance of wildlife in the area, including turtles, many species of birds, and alligators.
