Park Activities

Take in the scenic views from shore at one of the several lookouts or by boat. Anderson Point is conveniently situated halfway between two other launch sites on the City's canoe trail and the river offers many places to explore and enjoy. You can even venture up Crabtree Creek once you've reached the point. If you're not a boater, you can also enjoy the river by fishing, taking photos, or just sitting at the overlook taking in the scenery.
