Before you go

  • Use the parking pin as the arrival point and scout the shoreline before entering.
  • Respect posted park, town, or camp rules.
  • Check footing, depth, and exit options before getting in.
  • Pack out trash and keep the access corridor tidy.
  • If access feels questionable, make it a look-only stop.
