It accommodates 70 people with chairs and tables, or 120 people with chairs only. It is near a boat ramp, beach, and hiking trails.

Picnic Shelters
Reservable shelters are available at Sandling Beach, Rolling View and Beaverdam. All the shelters are handicap accessible and have access to drinking water and restrooms.
Unreserved picnic shelters are available free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis. However, the shelters are very popular, so reservations are strongly suggested.
