Camping & Picnic Areas

PICNIC AREAS

Picnicking is a great way to celebrate an occasion or simply enjoy a day in the outdoors. Most picnic areas are located close to lakes and reservoirs; all have restrooms, trash cans and drinking water available. Overnight camping is not allowed in picnic areas unless posted.

Unique to Pole Mountain is the Vedauwoo Picnic Area Gazebo, which is available for rent for up to 20 people. A Special Use Permit is required for more than 20 people from the Laramie District Ranger Office at 2468 Jackson Street Laramie, WY 82070; 307-745-2300.

Because the most difficult task of a picnic is remembering everything, here's a short list of conveniences to bring along.

• extra chairs
• a tablecloth
• trash bags
• insect repellant
• hand sanitizer
• plenty of ice and frozen gel packs
• picnic blanket
• plastic tarp
• matches or lighter
• paper towels
• can opener
• first aid kit
