Overall the river is clean but there were some spots where trash was deposited from previous washouts. I would try a run farther up river for a better experience next time.

First, working with Steve was so easy and relaxed! As you can imagine, coordinating a kayak trip with Texas weather and multiple involved Girl Scouts posed a bit of a logistical nightmare but Steve was understanding all along the way! He was understanding when we dropped a few girls and added one back on and when weather canceled us the first few times he was very clear and quick with the communication. Second, Steve was incredibly informative and patient with our Girl Scouts. This was a group of girls ages 11-15 but most of our group fell into the 11-12 year old range. He kept the girls on task and made sure they were watching at the important parts without coming across as too tough. The girls LOVED the experience and I highly recommend Steve and Discover Kayak to Girl Scouts and new kayakers alike. Thanks again Steve!

Last weekend I entrusted him to teach two dear friends who ARE NOT great swimmers. One had had a hip replacement. He was so patient and accommodating. He eased their fears, taught them and they already are begging to go back out. Thank you, Steve, for helping me introduce my friends to the world of kayaking. We are planning another small group for next month already.

His employee, Guy, was a phenomenal aid and made sure we got in and out of the water safely, and even gave us some waters in the 105 degree heat. Despite this heat, the lake was very cool and we had fun the entire time. If you're looking for a family activity or looking for a great time, please support this business! To my fellow UT Dallas students, this place is extremely cheap if you're looking for a great time!

The parking is well thought out, there are trash cans for your trash, there's a rail to help you get your kayak down the slope, and there is even a rope swing for swimming! My kids had a blast with that. The only thing I took a star away for was the lack of a place to poop. A port-a-potty out there would be amazing for the people who come down to picnic, take photos, and just swim in the general area. Other than that, I highly, highly recommend this place!

If you do have everything you need; this is the best place to leave your vehicle for overnight river trips. There are 20 miles of beautiful scenery (and fishing opportunities) from the launch below the PK dam - to this takeout point. Wild tirkeys walked right beside us, while turtles and hawks ignored us. You may see wild animals, and you will certainly see gorgeous cluffs and vistas - but you won't find any evidence of modern life! This 20-mile float may take you back in time!

Entering is as easy as scanning the QR code provided when entering the park and typing in your car license plate. As of June 2025, the entrance fee was $10, and this was on a weekend if that matters. Inside the park the car parking is very limited and to get a spot you either get lucky or just have to wait for other cars to leave. To prevent anyone trying to park illegal they positioned big rocks on the grass. There is a playground with swings and slides and multiple pavilions with shade. There is a small fishing pier and a beach like waterfront for swimming and fishing. We decided to try our luck and cast our rods out in the lake and surprisingly we caught a 3lb catfish within 10 minutes. We stayed about 2 hours and just got bites but nothing else. There are restrooms onsite and they have water fountains but when I was there, they were not working. There is a boat dock to release your boats and jet skis out in the water and while we were there, they had a good amount of people out in the water with their boats. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and will most likely return in the future for some fishing and hanging out with the family.
