One lane road with pull off's to allow traffic to pass. All the way to the end is a turn around. Parking is just before this turn around. A small dock allows for kayaks and paddle boards to be put in the water, but the stairs down to the dock are not in good condition, so use caution There are several bike and hiking paths, but recent floods have closed some of the paths, so again, use care. It is interesting to see these canal Locks. So much commerce went up and down PA using canal's w/locks. To see one up close and personal, this is the spot to do it.

But it was a beautiful day and friends wanted an adventure so I got talked into it. Got a pep talk and some instructions, strapped on my life jacket and headed out. We set off to the left towards the river but it was breezy and we were fighting against the tide. We turned around and decided to explore the calmer creek by ways and it was perfect. Very calm and quiet so we could drift along under the shade and chat, bird watched or paddled by fishermen. Highly recommended for a nice family outing.

When we arrived at the location in the morning, all the paddle boards were booked so we ended up getting on the water around 12:30. The owner was nice and provided great service by helping us onto the board and providing water and hand sanitizer before and after our activity. I would recommend this place and potentially return for other water activities. I believe the owner is ordering more water crafts to accommodate more customers.

I chose the red trail as it was the longest at 4.1 miles and most difficult, but still a moderate hike. It had some rolling hills and one sharp incline, but not too bad. Keep in mind not all of it is tree covered, so about 1.25 miles of the 4 was very sunny, so it was getting a little hot. However it's beautiful and when i was there on a Friday morning it was relatively quiet.

It was our first time, and our feet felt the flex, but we totally finished out an hour. The creek is lovely, we got close to Great Blue Heron and the arrowroot was in purple bloom. Options also include kayak and double kayak-decent selection. $27 for an hour of fun in the sun was a great value. There are benches but not a lot of shade, so we used an umbrella to create shade for the family elder who only wanted to watch. This was a great outing!
