About

The facility includes a self-guided interpretive trail and offers scenic views of the surrounding mountains. Flush toilets and potable water are available for day-use visitors. Dogs are not permitted inside the building but are allowed outside on leash. This is not a campground and no overnight camping is available at this location.
