Seven Springs Picnic Site

Seven Springs Picnick Site was constructed by the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) in 1934. The entrance road and portions of the picnick site wash out regularly so there is no vehicle access to the site.

Camping is available approximately 300 yards north at the CCC Campground.
