This entrance is about 200 yards from the Queens Bridge entrance (see map below). The lock here which has been converted to a sluice is quite popular with fishermen.

There is parking here for many cars and also a grassy area with a picnic table. Moreover, sometimes there are 2-3 portable toilets here. They were removed recently and have not been replaced. There is, however, a hot dog vendor(!) there (8/16/08).
