    Lovely place to walk after a full day of driving.

    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.

    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.

    Nice park, good boat ramps

    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.

    Great Beach!

    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.
