Other activities here include fishing, swimming, bird watching, and there are several picnic spots or even pavilions to enjoy. Check out the shallow parts of the water and you’ll likely find blue crabs, too!

While day trips here are great, there’s nothing like staying the night so that you can watch the sun go down in the evening. The views just before dusk are phenomenal. Be sure to bring a camera to photograph the sights.
