Picnicking is allowed in the picnic area and on the lawn surrounding the parking lot.
Picnic tables are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The tables are located at the far end of the Visitor Center parking lot. Each table can accommodate a wheelchair.

Fires and other heat sources must be extinguished and completely cold before any materials are placed in park trash cans. Coals or other combustible materials should never be thrown into the vegetation.
