This is the primary headwaters access point for Minnehaha Creek, located at the outlet of Grays Bay with parking and restroom facilities.

It serves as the starting point for paddlers exploring the creek's upper section through undeveloped wetlands and natural areas, which is most likely to have adequate water during low-flow conditions.

The site is accessed via Gray's Bay Boulevard and offers the best opportunity to paddle the creek when flows are between 75-150 cubic feet per second.
