Picnic Areas and Shelters

Black River State Forest

There are picnic facilities at all three campgrounds (Castle Mound, East Fork and Pigeon Creek). All have hand pumps for water, picnic tables, grills and pit toilets. Castle Mound and Pigeon Creek have playground equipment and are ADA accessible. Perry Creek and Oxbow Pond provide limited picnic facilities such as picnic tables and grills. Picnicking in the forest requires a vehicle admission pass when parking at any of the campgrounds, but a pass is not required at the Oxbow Pond or Perry Creek parking lots.
