Customer Reviews
River Road Park has a rating of 4.6 out of 5 based on over 536 reviews on Google
Great spot to catch a sunset. We went during a weekday in summer. Not to busy. Parking available and small playground. 4-6 people fishing. Benches on the pier. An alternate kayak launch point walking distance and less people there with the same beautiful view west! Recommended.
Great spot to view sunset. Bring bug spray and be sure to stay after the Sun actually sets; the colors will amaze you. Playground and fishing opportunities with bathrooms onsite. There is also a kayak, paddle board launch available.
Great place to catch blue crabs on the pier. Be warn though, there is NO shade other than the picnic place. So if ur going to go crabbing, be prepared to get sunburnt or use sunblock, especially on a hot day. Also there's alligators, if you're lucky you might see them in the evening. This place gets packed easily, first come first serve. Great place to Kayak 5* for Kayaking/boats, everything else 2* The Bathrooms on the other hand.. have no AC so if its hot as hell outside.. you're sitting in a cooker, humid basically Poor ventilation.
This riverside inlet park was stunning. It hit every southern-beach note with its gnarly trees and Spanish moss drifting in the wind. The pavilions were clean and glowing with warm light.. and walking through the park was an absolute pleasure.
Cute little park great for 4-7 year olds. 2 regular swings and 2 baby swings. 5 picnic tables under an awning. It is very well shaded in the afternoons thanks to the trees all around. There's some pretty heavy construction a couple hundred feet away in the fall 2022.
Was a really nice area to visit and hunt for sharks teeth. While my wife and I didn't quite have the experience of finding tons of shark teeth like other reviews have had mentioned. It is a beautiful place to be and an excellent way to spend an afternoon kayaking. We will definitely return next time we're down here and see more of the area.
Great place to put in with kayaks or small boats to ride around. Right across from Shark Tooth Island. Bathroom, playground and pier to fish of.... Nice park. We've only been here to use our kayaks and it's perfect for that.
