Nice but avoid if you're the type to drive fast: there are a lot of people

Fording depends on the water level of the river. Very nice place for lunch or a picnic.

I used this bike park in December with my mountain bike (I admit it's not the ideal time to go there) fairly simple level to try again in good weather.
