It also offers a great place for kayaking, canoeing, snorkeling, fishing and other recreational activities.

The 185-acre park offers special attractions for nature lovers, and overnight guests also have access to the Cypremort Point Nature Center, a 1,000 square foot nature center. If you want to fish from the shore, there is a fishing pier just outside the entrance to the park, which is only 100 meters away.
