Picnicking
Pack your favorite snacks, load up the cooler with a full spread, or hit up a snack bar and settle down for a leisurely picnic. Fire up one of the grills to take your picnic up another notch. Mountain vista, lakefront, beachside—the view is up to you! Picnic shelters at many state parks are available for rental Memorial Day through Columbus Day. Reserve online at Reserve America or call 1-877-668-CAMP (2267).
