Initially, I wasn't impressed. Very little shade and all of the picnic tables are around the rest rooms. We didn't even notice them until we were leaving. No barbecue grills available. The north side of the dam is the Guana River, to the south and west is the Intercoastal Waterway and to the east is US A1A and the beaches.
Boat ramps are available on each side of the dam.
Several people were fishing and crabbing. The wife and children stayed at the dam while I went for a bicycle ride. They are relatively smooth and easy to pedaling. Hard packed in most areas. A few, very few, soft areas are present.
