Just being able to hear the water waves, and seeing the sun glistening against the water is a tranquil vibe. On the some weekends there are people giving birthday parties or barbecuing at the Barbecue Grills. There is a Fishing Pier, Parking lot area, Pavilions (Small), Picnic Tables, a Playground where my kids play and swing, a Sand Volleyball Court, Trails for Hiking / Biking. I enjoy the peace and convenience of the view to walk around the lakeside in a calm setting.

Pros - Fishing Spots…read more- Relaxation - Prices - Clean Bathrooms Cons - Spiders This place is definitely a favorite, I'm part of a fishing family and was raised that way. When I tell you I'm no stranger to this place believe me I'm not. I've come here since Bill Clinton was president, and its like this place has been frozen in time the exact same way I remember it. It only cost $8 to enter and fish as much as you would like until 6 am the next morning and $1 per additional poles. I've caught just about anything you can think of here, and if you have nothing to do all day this is the best spot. There is plenty of shade and its connected to a convenient store that has all the bait, snacks, and equipment you would need. The people at the front are very nice as well, no issues, and their prices are pretty fair for the fishing items, food might cost a little bit more though. One of the more impressive things is the cleanliness of their bathrooms. There's nothing better than having a place with clean bathrooms, someone here is doing a great job, keep it up!!! The ONLY negative and a deal breaker for some, are the spiders that live around this place. Fishing attracts bugs, and bug attract spiders, if you have arachnophobia, this probably isn't the place for you. Some are big, some are little, some are hairy, and some are bald, one of them even pulled a knife on me and asked for my wallet. The spiders here can be pretty daunting but none the less, they just want to catch a meal like you. Aside from that this place is legit, I recommend it!!!

We've always enjoyed going to Harbor Bay Marina during the summer, but today's experience was…read morereally disappointing. A few weeks ago, we arrived to launch our boat, and there was no one in the office to collect the launch fee. Rather than leaving without paying, we left a $20 bill with a note. The launch fee is $12, and when we called the next day, we were told we had an $8 credit. Today, we returned, paid our launch fee, and asked to use our $8 credit. Unfortunately, the lady manager was incredibly rude--not only to us, but also to the employee working in the office. The tone, attitude, and overall way the situation was handled were completely unnecessary. We always try to do the right thing, and that's exactly what we did by paying even when no one was there. It's disappointing to be treated with such disrespect after making the effort to be honest. I hope Harbor Bay Marina takes customer service more seriously because no customer--or employee--deserves to be treated that way.

This loop is a good stretch of 5.5 miles or more, depending on the direction you take. It's VERY…read moreeasy. It's more like a walk than a hike. It's 50/50 in the covered woods and in the sun. It's a DORBA trail system, so check dorba.org for trail closures before going. If the trails are a bit tacky, they close the trails. I understand that for the mountain bikers, but for a couple of hikers, I think it's overkill. The trails are VERY flat but stretch out over a long distance. The creek banks have a lot of litter due to flood water run off from the roadways - #Don'tMessWithTexas! In the main part of the park, there is a gazebo with 2 picnic tables and a grill and porta potties. That is all folks.

To my surprise this establishment is cash only! I was ready to turn around with my 8 year old son and find a nearby atm, however the nice young lady at the front desk named Chelsea was kind enough to admit us in complimentary. Her small kind gesture is what I knew will bring us back summer after summer. The pool was clean, they had music playing and they allow you to bring in outside food and drink. 10/10 recommend, make sure to bring sandals because the pavement gets really hot! We had a wonderful afternoon, can't wait to come back!

I…read morevisited on a crisp winter day with my wife and son, and we enjoyed the walking trails through a busy disc golf course and around a large pond. Then, we visited the recently renovated children's playground that has a large playground structure, swings, a zipline, and a warped wall. There are also at least two bathrooms located throughout the park- always a plus. Oh, and there's also two dog parks and a swimming pool, plus ample parking. If you're looking for a fun place to take your kid or go for a walk or run, this is a great spot. It gets quite crowded in the summer, but hey, it's popular for a reason.

The gazebo gives a great view of the lake and being able to walk the shore and skip rocks is always a very relaxing thing to do. There's actually a secret spot tucked off away from the lake that people don't know about. Good fishing in that part, but not so much in the lake itself from the human interaction on the edge of the water. Families come out and hang out and windsurf so it's pretty family friendly. Also a nice place to go on a date and star gaze. Lots of traffic here on the holidays like Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Juneteenth, and New Years. People from all over come out and celebrate and it can get a little hectic but there's plenty of space to do what you want. I'll always love this place
