Picnic Areas
 
Picnic table with bearbox near it for safely storing food away from bears
BEAR HABITAT! Store all food properly, never leave food on or around picnic tables unattended, and place all trash in bearproof garbage cans and dumpsters (close any latches that are present). Please use the bearbox near your table to store all food when not preparing or eating it.     NPS Photo
 
Map showing location of park picnic areas
You can find picnic areas throughout the parks and surrounding national forest. None are plowed in winter, however.
 

NOTE: Individual picnic areas may be closed at particular times because of bears or other issues. Picnic areas are not plowed and may be inaccessible after snow falls. Fire and/or smoking restrictions or bans may be in place; click here for current restrictions on fires.
