Continue around that curve and there is a paved parking lot with shelters, also good spot to cruise. Cross street: Bond st and 3rd.

These areas can be cruised almost any time of day, real early morning before work, noon, afternoon, evening.
Sunset today · Sunrise tomorrow
Etiquette
To meet guys you can either stay in your car and watch to see who is watching you or you can get out and walk the grounds. At the boat launch, there is a trail to follow into the wooded area that becomes busy at times.
Nudity: Neither area is set up for nudity, but if you are careful and are in the wooded area it can be done.
Safety
The police do come around once in a while so don't do anything out in the open.

Stay out of this park. The local police are increasing undercover foot patrols in here. They are also watching people with binoculars. Three men were arrested here last week for lewd conduct.
