One of our favorite launch spots
This park has plenty of options for visitors. It has a launch ramp that has four launch bays and two beaches. If you are not a boater you will enjoy the well maintained shady picnic tables over looking the river. There is a nominal use fee during peak season (March thru October).

Lovely place to walk after a full day of driving.
Couples
We always arrive in the off season, January, and March and very much enjoy the quiet park where we can walk our dog. The river is active with jumping fish and Herons and Egrets and ducks. Nice parks.

Beautiful place but full of trash!
This place is so beautiful, but the amount of trash, broken glass and dog poop on the beaches is heartbreaking! Not to mention the abandoned vehicles across the river. Come on CA, we can do better!

Nice park, good boat ramps
Friends
This is just a nice place to sit and watch the river go by. If you have a boat to launch, it's easy to launch. If you wish to have a picnic, there are many tables and cabanas with different views of the river.

Boat launch
We launched are boat from here a couple of times. It takes you to the Colorado River at a nice area not too far from the Topock Marina. There is ample parking and a few launches.

Best park for boating, fishing, river play. Mar thru Oct $15 daily fee for boat load/unload. Parking access for trailers+cars right there. Small playground for kids, covered picnic areas around the park.

Great Beach!
Family
Great place to use the launch ramps and find a beach if you can't have a water craft. We got a really nice, clean beach and had a wonderful time!

Great low key launch!
Love launching from Jack Smith. The wait is always very minimal, we feel safe knowing the San Bernardino Sheriff's Dept patrols the area.
