Tip of Gays' Point ...

I have no idea what that wooden structure is at the end of the point, but the river is so shallow here, that especially at low tide, you'll bottom out your kayak. Gays' Point has about 20 campsites on it, all grouped together along the eastern side, that is deep enough for most power boats to more within 20 feet of the shore.
