Beaver Ponds Picnic Area is an excellent location to enjoy the peacefulness of the Kawnueeche Valley. This picnic area has tables overlooking two large ponds where visitors can enjoy the scenery while stopping to have a meal. Water sources like the ones found here provide necessary resources for many types of wildlife that live in the area. Keep your binoculars ready for sightings of local birds such as White Crown Sparrows, Dark-eyed Juncos, or Yellow-rumped Warblers. For a closer look at the aquatic ecosystem, look for the short staircase leading down to the water’s edge. Tables: 6 Fire Grates: 6 Use of Portable Grills*: Yes * The use of disposable or portable charcoal grills, wood fuel camp stoves, and gas grills is allowed for food preparation as adjuncts to fire grates provided by the park in auto campgrounds and picnic areas. Where portable grills are allowed, the used charcoal and ash must be completely extinguished and disposed of in trash receptacle. Keep Wildlife Wild: Remember to never approach wildlife and always stay at least 75 feet away from elk, moose, coyote, or any other large animals. 75 feet is the length of two school buses. Please help protect our park’s wildlife by practicing Leave No Trace principles! Always take your garbage with you and never feed the wildlife.
