Picnic area featuring picnic table, grill, and fire pit

Three Patches Picnic Area | Wyoming

Received on a Recreation and Public Purposes lease in 1964, Three Patches is among the longest running developed sites in the area. This picnic area has been a family favorite to visit for more than 50 years. All of the trees in this area were planted initially in 1965 by local boy scouts. Paved pathways provide safe access. Each small group site offers a picnic table and the option of either a standing grill or an in-ground fire ring. Large group sites with fire rings are also available for larger gatherings. This is a fee-free site. This site is ADA accessible.
