Blackwater Snakehead Campsite

Nice private feeling campsite! Didn't use outhouse as I just slept there for a little after an astronomy program and headed out early. I really enjoyed the proximity to the water and saw several great blue heron and osprey!

Neat site, arrived at sunset to see Stars, glad lights on nearby buildings were motion controlled and went out.

Blackwater Snakehead Campsite

I came to fish in my kayak. Trying to launch my kayak was a huge problem dragging it over old pallets. The boards on the pallets broke numerous times and I sunk over my knees in mud. Would have fished later but was worried i would kill myself trying to maneuver the palleys in the dark. Felt fortunate I never hurt myself that being said I came to fish and I have never had better luck. Caught my first dragon and 2 other large snakeheads. My passion for fishing may drive me to come back but hope the pallets have been replaced.
