Mostly sand bottom. Couple more trees this year than last due to earlier season flooding and storms.

It is a wonderful place but the water contains Negleria Fowleri, which is very dangerous with a 97% fatality rate. Please do not swim, but if you do, do not go underwater.

normally it's a great place to play in the water but this year is a little iffy with all the branches and everything still stuck out of the bridges and the water moving so fast I would stay away from it

I stay off and on in a cabin right on the river and it's amazing every day during every kind of weather. I've heard a pack of coyotes howling, barking, and yipping, Turkeys gobbling at the same time, and Cardinals in rut chasing each other through the trees !!! It's so peaceful and the river just flows along silently the whole time!

People commenting about the naegleria fowleri but that is literally in every body of water. The temps just have to be right for it to get bad. It’s extremely rare to get it also. Do some research. This is a beautiful place.
