Nice platform to sit by the river. A few picnic tables along a well groomed field. Rapids all down the river.

I’d give five stars but the area seems to swarmed with people who are looking for a big score in people’s trucks, had someone break into our truck here when we were fishing. Not a good spot to go with valuables and all parking is right next to the road. Secure everything if you come here and make nothing visible to prevent possible theft. Other than that it’s got beautiful views and I enjoyed my time here.
