Calm atmosphere supports water activities like kayaking and paddle-boarding alongside quiet spots for swimming. The park welcomes pets but lacks playgrounds, focusing on natural beauty and outdoor recreation.

Small beaches cluster near the main area, offering a private beach feel even on busy days. Kayak rentals let you explore quieter spots, and the strong current requires some care when accessing the water.
