There are three large picnic shelters and over 200 picnic sites scattered throughout the park for visitors to enjoy.
The shelters, Cochran, Alta and Walnut Grove, make a great venue for family gatherings or special outings, and may be reserved at a rate of $40 per day. If not reserved, the shelters may be used on a first-come, first-served basis. Cochran Shelter’s capacity is approximately 70 occupants and it is equipped with a fireplace. Alta Shelter, the largest of the three, can occupy up to 130 people, and has three fireplaces and two barbecue grills--Alta Shelter is closed until further notice due to fire damage. Walnut Grove Shelter will hold up to 56 people and has a barbecue grill.
All three of the shelters are equipped with picnic tables, and have water and restroom facilities nearby. There is no electricity available in the shelters.
