The only sizable picnic area within the National Park Service-owned properties at Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve is at the Visitor Center. There are five picnic tables on the right side of the building and a covered pavilion with another half dozen tables behind the building. There are no grills. All tables are taken on a first come, first served basis. If you need a larger picnic area or one that you can reserve for a group outing, the state and city parks within Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve may have what you need. See the Timucuan Parks Foundation for more information.

There are a few picnic tables at the Theodore Roosevelt Area parking lot and near the Cedar Point boat ramp. Both locations have restrooms as well. The Theodore Roosevelt Area restroom is modern, while the Cedar Point restroom is a pit toilet housed in a permanent building.

Picnicking is also allowed on the grounds of the Kingsley Plantation as long as you are at least 100 feet from any of the buildings. There are no tables, so bring your own blanket. All trash must be taken home with you.
