We visited this site and found it quite pleasant. If you continue on down the river past the gravel beach area you will come upon a large sand area next to the little inlet mentioned by Wandering Bear. The entire hike, with kids and coolers, only took about 10 minutes. We only came across one other person who had been visiting this site for over 9 years. He indicated that he rarely sees anyone there and that this is a great spot for beginners to get a feel for outdoor naturism without the crowd. This is a highly recommended site that we will be visiting again!

This is a nice little beach.. It is tucked away past the corrner of the river.There a little Inlet with a stream running through it which is good for wadeing.The ground is gravel until you get to the beach ,which is all sand.The fisherman dont go back here because its not a good place to fish. It is a great place just to sit back and get some sun or have a picnic,And the chance of meeting non-naturists (Who might be offended) there is rare.Its a great place if you dont mind the hike..
