Carpenter's Park is just north of the city less than a mile from town-center.  It has two boat launches that give quick access to the river and is a popular spot for family picnics and lazy summer days.  Outdoor equipment is available for the kids and a small dock provides fishing opportunities.  The two inlets into the park area are divided by Buzzards Island which got it's name years ago when buzzards frequented its trees.  The southern boat ramp is only about two hundred yards from Milton's only marina.
