Confirmed from Castaways Point Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Riverfront park offering 2 fishing piers & concrete walkways, plus a picnic pavilion & kayak launch.

“Small, but so quiet, amazing views, nice fishing piers, lots of wildlife and a lil beach u can get ur feet wet 😃”
Great place for running, walking or birding! Loved the view and the atmosphere . It’s safe and pet friendly also. Bathrooms available. Beach front. The weather is perfect during winter. Must visit again!
Found this spot while we were killing time, waiting for Bass Pro to open. I love the location of the park. It has views of the water surrounding it. Also, there is ample docks to walk out on so nature watching or fishing is easy.
The city really has made this a nice park. Lovely paths to walk along and the fishing pier is great!
My niece had her baby shower at the Pavillion. Beautiful park. Boardwalk. Good parking. Watched seabirds,dolphins all day.
