Attended my granddaughters birthday at Cane Creek Park and I am so very impressed with the site! Clean, safe, relaxing and beautiful. This park is a crown jewel. Fees to enter the park and wristbands to swim and boat are very affordable less than a Starbucks coffee! I am so thankful for this recreational site especially for families who cannot afford entertainment park entry fees, Putt Putt golf fees, private boating and kayak fees, etc Cane Park has all this and the beauty and serenity of a well heeled resort but financially inclusive for all.

We were a large group and number of boats were very much sufficient for the entire group to go at once. Not much crowded. However one has to pay for the car parking.

There are two ramps. Boaters are being considerate, making sure they are not clogging the ramps.
