My 2 and 5 year old and I had a lot of fun here. We spent 3.5 hours exploring the different water areas, collecting shells and stuff off the bottom, swimming in the deeper parts and wading in the shallow parts. The water felt amazing too! The water is clear when not disturbed by kicking up the bottom mud/algae stuff which is why later on in the day there is more "alge" floating downriver. When we first got there at 9:30 on a Monday there wasn't really any at all, but obviously as the day went on more people came. The rocks by the waterfall areas are definitely slick though, so be super careful, even in the water. Water shoes could be helpful although we were fine without them. We brought our own wagon the kids ate in, and a folding chair for me, we just posted up in the shade along the roadline. The picnic tables are located a bit far from the main swimming areas but I assume that's because they're in the shaded areas under the trees, and the bathroom is at the end of the road - not that nice inside but better than no bathrooms. There was no police like other reviews have mentioned, maybe that's just a weekend thing? Overall a fun spot with kids for sure (there were also dogs, some on leash some off), as well as any age group to hang.
