While not actually on the river (the river is not clean enough to swim in yet!), a sandy beach area lets you relax and soak in the views of the White River.
Young or young at heart? Test your balance on a stump walk and play King of the Hill (or whatever else your mind imagines) on our sand dune (it’s really mulch, but lets pretend!).
There is a small loop mulch trail in the park, and many people also wander down into the floodplain forest to explore.
There are three shaded picnic tables available for use.
What river experience would be complete without a good bonfire? Fire pits are provided, but bring your own firewood!
The site has long been popular with fisherman. You will need a DNR license, and be aware of fish consumption advisories though if you plan on taking your catch home!
Our artistic trailer serves as the backdrop for a performance platform.

Please Stay Off the Dam
The rocks in the river are remnants of a dam that collapsed. The rocks can be slippery and unstable, and the water flows fast with strong undercurrents that can trap you underwater.
Be Aware of Poor River Water Quality
Drinking the water, splashing water in the face, or full-body contact with the water such as swimming is not advised due to poor water quality. You may get sick doing these activities. We advise washing or sanitizing hands after any contact with the water.
Pets Welcome
Pets are welcome but must be on a leash and you are responsible for disposing of dog waste.
Very Dangerous Swimming
The river around the dam flows very fast, can be unexpectedly deep, and has dangerous currents that can trap you. Drownings have occurred here. Please be careful and keep children near you.
