Great little park for picnics and (once it opens again) a playground for young children. You can walk down to the water and see the Cape Fear River. There is boat access. Enjoy an afternoon at this park.

A great place to launch any boat into the Cape Fear River. Plenty of parking. My first experience there was a shady crowd of people and we turned around and left. Im not sure how patrolled it is or its safety and security but the 2nd trip was great for a day of kayaking and my car was safe upon our return.

Great place for a picnic. Across the way is shark tooth island. Only problem is people park in the way for you to turn your truck around to back in to the unload slip.

All we used was parking and the boat ramp to load canoes and kayaks for a paddle on the intercoastal waterway. The pier had been damaged by Isaias and was closed. Not sure what other amenities were available in the park.

Wonderful spot to set out for kayaking/canoeing adventures. The easily accessible boat ramp, fairly calm water (typically) and nearby islands are suitable for even the novice paddler.

Great place to put in a kayak or canoe. Not so busy that you have to wait forever to pull down to the water and its only a short paddle to get to Shark Tooth Island! Impossible to leave there without finding at least one tooth. Or 100!

This park was easy to get to, easy to find parking, easy to unload kayak, and had some nice local people that we talked to. We also noticed a couple of police cars come through oh, I assumed they were doing routine checks. although it did seem like the kind of Park where people would go to do things they shouldnt be doing. The bathroom was clean, and again we were really impressed by how easy the boat ramp was to use oh, just a nice gentle slope into the river and then a quick paddle out the sharks tooth island. Highly recommend the park for paddling, but I can only imagine how bad the bugs would be during the warmer months. as we are putting our kayaks into the water, theyre being eaten alive by noseeums.

Ive been coming to this park since I was a little kid. Its got a pier where fishing is allowed, and a small beach to launch small water craft. Its extremely nice, especially at sunset where you can see the sunset over the river. From the boat launch point, a few of the Islands (Keg and Campbell, namely) are accessible by boat.Within the park there is also a playground and nice picnic areas. There are also bathrooms

If you are looking for a place to launch your kayak, this is the place. If you go early enough the water will be low enough to get out of the kayak and explore the islands. There is a lot of kayakers in the area, keg island is across from the launch and great for kayaking. There is no real parking but you can find a spot to park, be prepared to wait for access to the launch if you have to unload your truck at the launch.

Be careful, someone hit my car with their trailer and did not say a word.... I was halfway on the peir. I parked right there by the tree line, out of the way. So do like me and get a dashcam and have full coverage. Other than that. This is the spot to go and chill on a peir and relax.
