Whitewater Picnic Area
This is a shaded picnic area located adjacent to Whitewater Creek and there are 18 picnic tables and grills available for public use. There are several "bear-proof" trash cans for trash disposal. Do not place trash on the outside of the cans since this will attract wildlife. If the trash receptacles are full pack out your trash.
