Pros:We used picnic aria for a day use. It was easy and convenient for a large group. The picnic grounds are laden with picnic tables and shade trees. BBQ stands were definitely a plus. The picnic area was clean. The bathrooms were relatively speaking taken care of. We had one interaction with stuff, it was helpful and friendly.
Cons: There were not many signs on the way to the lake. It is about 8 miles driving relying on GPS. Parking somewhat limited.
