🚩 Tips for playing:

0️⃣ Recommended red star ⭐️ location, combines camping spots, shade, and water entry points.

1️⃣ Time ⏰: Fewer people in the morning, rapidly increases after 2 PM, experience slightly declines, parking becomes difficult, recommend going early and staying until afternoon.

2️⃣ ⛰️ Best time: Afternoon light makes the water bluer, visually more jelly-like, sparkling water surface, more beautiful than in the morning.

3️⃣ 🌲 Water forest: Water covers the low bald cypress trees forming a forest; the closer to the shore, the shallower the water, both adults and children can stand inside and play.

4️⃣ ⛺️ Camping spots: Detailed guide marks camping spots; this is the best spot in my opinion, shaded by trees. Other small camping spots can be found but none as good as this one.

5️⃣ 🤿 Bring snorkeling gear.

6️⃣ 🍔 No food or drinks sold on site, be sure to bring your own snacks, bring extra food and water. Playing in water makes you thirsty and hungry.

7️⃣ 🐎 Suggest rushing to visit soon, this place might be closed off.

⚠️ Attention:

1️⃣ ⚡️ There are several utility poles in the water with power lines passing through, be careful, especially for drone users.

2️⃣ 👮 No management here currently, more and more people are coming, please be sure to practice civilized outdoor activities, take your trash with you, cherish this rare outdoor environment.
