💬 What Parents Say

• 🕐Arrive early (around 9 AM opening) to secure parking in the main lot and avoid long waits at water attractions. Early arrivals can access the water course without capacity-based time limits, while later visitors face 30-minute session restrictions.
• 💡Use the parking app linked on the permit to add time remotely instead of walking back to the parking lot. This is especially convenient if you're out on the water via kayak, paddle board, or other rentals.
• 🕐Plan to visit on quieter days (like the day after Labor Day) for a serene experience with fewer crowds. This is ideal if you want peaceful paddleboarding or hiking rather than busy family swimming.
• 💡Know that boat rentals close at 4 PM and the office/boathouse operates 10 AM–5 PM daily. Plan water activities accordingly, especially if renting kayaks, paddle boats, or paddle boards.
• 💡Bring your own snacks and ice cream alternatives—food is limited and ice cream flavors run out early. Also note bathrooms are a significant walk from the swimming area, so plan bathroom breaks accordingly.
