​Picnicking

What better way to spend the day than to load up the car with the family for an old-fashioned picnic. The Turkey Pass Picnic Area is located on Cactus Drive, just north of Pine Campground. Tables, grills, water, a shelter and pit-vault toilets are provided. Groups of 25 or more must have a Group Use Permit or may reserve the shelter using the ExploreMoreIL™ website.
