Description

Henningson Lotus Park extends for over a half mile on river left from the Highway 49 bridge downstream. It is an easy and very popular access point with a wide beach and a big area for beginners to practice in the slow current. Play fields, picnic areas, and hiking trails serve a diversity of users. A developed boat launching area with a large parking lot is at the downstream end of the play fields. The site requires a fee to park a car.
