I will be down there next week and am excited to check this out in my kayak. Really surprised there has not been more comments from people who have been out there on this. Hoping for calm seas next week
The reef is excellent! I go often in my kayak. Weve had some rougher weather recently, so i havent been out as much. But it's really starting to attract the critters. Fishing there is great. And you'll see dolphins, sea turtles, all types of fish and birds. I saw people snorkeling and diving there this summer and the water is still plenty warm. Haven't done it myself, but it looks like fun.I will be down there next week and am excited to check this out in my kayak.

Thanks for the update JT. I look forward to checking it out. Where are you launching your kayak from when you go here? Trying to get my bearings from the picture and where i might park to get close.
I launch from Grayton, either from the Garfield access or the Western Lake boat ramp at the end of Hotz. From there, the reef is maybe a 1/2 mile paddle toward the state park. In the 2016 aerial photos, you can actually see the reef! I attached a picture.
so cool it shows up in the images now, THANKS FOR THE INFO!!! I hope to see this in person today, perhaps! The water has been fantastic!
Shouldn't fishing be illegal at a reef?
