Battleship Rock Picnic Site
This picnic area is located where the San Antonio and East Fork-Jemez Rivers meet. The picnic area is named for the nearby rock formation known as Battleship Rock. Open sun-up to sun-down, the picnic area can be busy on weekends and holidays.
Battleship Rock is a 200-foot tall natural land form of volcanic rock, resembling a Navy warship. It provides the backdrop and frames the picnic area. The East Fork Jemez and San Antonio Rivers join at the picnic area and offer a cool streamside environment for family picnics, fishing and hiking.
