About the Park
The park includes a boat launch and large parking area, as well as the picnic tables and waterfront boardwalk beloved of anglers.
Along with Bayport Park, this park provides the other terminus for the Coastal Paddling Trail, which stretches out through the estuary that lies at your feet when you stand on the edge of dry land.
Be be mindful of the tides. Sometimes it’s better to launch from Bayport Park and ride the tide in.
