A bargain of a spot for $3 a day as there is a great beach, kayak rentals, changing facilities all on the beautiful Saginaw bay. We saw jet skis and a lot of boat trailers so there must be a launch nearby. There was also campers and tents with people enjoying a pure Michigan day.

There are two entrances to the falls. I would suggest go to the Branch Road entrance is closer to the falls. The one located near Bray Road is more area for the fishing.

I appreciate having places to walk around. When I went to Huckleberry Railroad last year I did not…read morerealize this was an extension on the other side, so that makes the area even better if you are interested in outdoor adventures. Where we parked there was a path to get to the falls. They are not really falls, just a man made dam with concrete steps on several levels to check out the water. I could see people were able to have canoes on the lake and there was a beach and playground off to the distance on the other side. Another part of the park maybe? A lot of people were walking around with their kids or come go fishing. So it was a nice family area. I realize I am more of a resort pool with a lazy river girly, so I am not in love with the many swarms of gnats but that is me. If you are outdoorsy, this is a nice place to visit. Paired with Huckleberry railroad would be perfect.

They've got plenty of seating, a bandshell for concerts, bathroom facilities, public art and more. My husband and I grabbed a pizza at the nearby Brooklyn Boyz and enjoyed a lovely picnic of sorts on one of their covered tables while watching the boats and the sun go down around us. It was lovely and one of the easier outdoor dining experiences I've had in recent memory. Parking on the adjacent street (just across from the Planetarium and the entrance to the park by the fountain) was very easy. It was a metered spot but it was on a Sunday so I believe it was free. A great place to spend an evening or an afternoon when the weather cooperates.

While urban, the river did offer a nice shimmering blue, and a large cargo ship made for an interesting sight as it passed by. Parking is no trouble, and it's easy to walk around the downtown here, so there's no reason not to stop by this park if you're there.

Not ideal for tent camping. This is the first state campground that I have stayed at, so I don't…read morehave anything to compare it to. We usually stay at more rustic campgrounds. The spaces were close together and there were lot of flies everywhere. There was a poop smell throughout the campground and the beach. With the campsites being so close together you could hear everyone "yelling at their kids" or partying until 2:00 AM. The bathrooms had dirty floors and the shower was gross. The beach was a nice short walk just across the bridge and to the other side of the road. There were lots of campers and many of them had lights on at night or hung lights outside their camper which created light pollution so you could not see the stars. Maybe you want to hang out with a bunch of strangers and listen to their business or their partying until the wee hours of the morning. If that sounds like fun then you should definitely come here. If you came for an outdoor experience, wanted to see the stars or hear nature then I would avoid this campground.

On this particular day they had a waterfowl festival event with food trucks, vendors, puppies and much more. Spent the day enjoying the festival and the park. I really liked that they had a splash pad, childrens area, lots of trail options, close parking to the beach and the restrooms. The beach was not the best place to be in my opinion because of the marsh line. You could walk far out and put a chair in the water to by pass but maybe consider a different part of Saginaw Bay might be a better place to swim and enjoy the beach.
