This was my 2nd time to come out fishing. The first time, I went to the stocked ponds and got absolutely nothing. Not even bites. This time, I hung out by the boat ramp and caught a few blue gill. There were a lot of bigger fishing jumping but no luck for me. It is summer so we will blame that and not my ability to pick lures. Lol. The area itself is fine. People tend to leave their trash behind, forgetting about leave no trace, I guess. Restrooms are available though I didnt check them out. Each time I have gone at sunset and felt safe. There are usually families boating on the river and enough people that you don't feel secluded but its also not crowded. I plan on returning, but my biggest complaint is the amount of trash left behind and thats on the people there, not the facilities.

People need to stop leaving thier trash in Lakeview Salt Water Barrier & The Sandbar areas and if they make a respectable burn spot when they burn. Wood only no trash or cans or bottles. Please Respect Nature!! Leaving it better than what it was when ya got there. Why would y'all.want to go play where its all trashed out. I'll Speak for the locals that always clean it... Keep Clean or Don't Come Out There Its That Simple. God Bless Texas

I loved this kayaking loop we spent most of our day there a little disappointed we couldn't get in the water to cool off. We counted 4 gators around and some pretty big alligator gar swimming around big enough when one surfaced next to me it pushed my kayak and for my bifocal eyes to see across the lake. All in all a great day

Bring your canoe or kayak and follow the Scatterman trail, you can do it in about 3 hours or slower of course. Beautiful flowers wildlife etc.

We finally found decent city streets to get there so we don't beat up our jet skis. Hint: go down Plant Road until the very end then maps will take you the rest of the way. We love the boat launch ramps and the dock.
