This spot was pretty good for just me but I don’t think that it could be fished by anymore than three people at a time. Over all a nice spot with a large calm section on one side of the bridge, current/rapids under the bridge, and rapids in turns on the other side. The spot was an easy one minute walk away from parking. The parking was a little tricky because you have to park on the edge on someone’s field. *I was parked just off the road and as I got back to my car the man working the field asked me to pull in farther next time so they could still have access to their field.*
Very well managed and easy to access. I know first hand how hard it can be to get, and keep, a kid interested in fishing. There's tons of easy bank access, lots of weed beds full of panfish, and maybe most importantly (for young kids) a bait shop with snacks and latrines. If you're in the area and want to take your kid fishing it's worth the trip in my opinion.
