Slab, where we picnic on saturday is next to the river where folks and kids can swim with no problem. i put up a canopy for shade. bring a few chairs. also near the playground.
 
 

Cool. Which park in Cook's Forrest? The one by Tom's Run? How deep is it there? Nice shallow area for the kids to swim?

1 mile upstream of Toms Run. Yes, really shallow.....WF....Normally, hard to get your knees wet there.

Not making it this year...daughter and grand babies will be home and want to go to the Butler Farm Show. Next year. Hope you all have a great weekend!

So far, it doesn't look like many folks are coming. That's too bad. I was hoping to meet a lot of you.

do you guys do much fishing or is this more of a picnic kinda thing

Bass are just starting to hit good. Down year so far for cats but they are still there to catch, just no big numbers....WF

fishingman, we don't eat until around 3 so we fish b4 and after the picnic. some of the guys do a float and fish. some of us stick around the campsight and fish before going down to the picnic area. the picnic area usually gets crowded in the afternoon with all the swimmers, canoes, kayaks and other picnic going-ons.

DT, can you bring an old rod and give me a quick lesson in fly fishing?

Sounds like a fun weekend, is it open to any fisherman? I wouldn't mind coming up & fishing...
