George Matheson Park

It is a lovely spot but calling it a park is a bit of a misnomer. It is essentially just a boat launch. You could potentially swim here I suppose - the boat launch area was smooth and sandy but on either side was long grasses and reeds out into the water 7 or 8 feet.

When you first turn in to the park, there is a place to park vehicles with some garbage and recycling cans then a stretch of road leading into the river for people to launch a boat and turn around. Beside the launch there is a large platform of interesting black rock where you could potentially sit for a snack and watch the water - though you have to go through some weeds to get there.

Beside the road to the launch there is a very small stand of trees with a tiny stream. There is no path and it's not clear if it's actually part of the park. On the other side of the stream it seems to turn into someone's private yard. There is no play structures and no walking paths - and that's OK! I just thought I would let people know what is there - really beautiful view and a (presumably) nice boat launch but maybe not what you traditionally think of when you hear 'park'.

Loved it
