Located by the Chapel of the Sacred Heart, this picnic area sits above Jackson Lake. Stop by to enjoy the views and a short path that leads down to the shore. There is a vault toilet, trash bin, and recycling available. Wildlife are present in this area so properly dispose of waste, pick up micro trash around your table, and never leave scented items unattended.  

Adjacent to the picnic area is the Chapel of the Sacred Heart—a historic chapel run by the Catholic Church. Mass is held on Sunday evenings during the summer.
