Beaver Creek Picnic Area

At the Beaver Creek Picnic Area visitors will find a quiet spot for picnicking in the scenic Kawnueeche Valley. Picnic tables located on the top of a small hill provide an ideal viewing location for the wildlife that often visit this section of the meadow. During the Elk Rut in autumn, this location gives visitors an elevated viewing spot to watch wildlife from a safe distance. Tables: 4 Fire Grates: 4 Use of Portable Grills: No Keep wildlife wild.
