Beaver Creek Day Use Picnic Site
Beaver Creek is popular for picnicking and birding year round, and water play in the summer. The area has limited space and easily gets over-crowded on hot days and holiday weekends. There are two separate sections to the day use facility at Beaver Creek.
- Large Fee Site: The largest section is a developed picnic facility with 18 sites that all include a table, grill, drinking water, trash cans, port-o-johns, vault toilets, and parking for one to two vehicles per site.
- Small Fee Site: The second section is a small $12 day use section across the road from the fee site with three picnic sites, three grills, and shared parking for a maximum of eight vehicles. There is no drinking water or trash service on this side. Visitors must pack out their own trash, and be prepared with enough water for their needs.
