PARKING
Parking is at a roadside pullout that holds three to four vehicles at the most.
AMENITIES
Picnic Area #19 has one table and what’s left of an old stone grill. Be sure to bring a grate wide enough to stretch between the stone sides if you want to do any cooking. Or better yet, bring your own grill.
NOTE: Table and grill count may vary due to theft, breakage, or the addition of new tables and grills. If you plan on hosting a group picnic, be sure to stop by and check out the facility in advance to make sure it will fit your needs. You are allowed to bring your own grill. Used charcoal must be disposed of in the trash cans, not dumped onto the ground.
