Is there a place to picnic or eat?

I agree with Robert small area with a few seats. We went early and had the place to ourselves but I am sure it gets busy being such a mild hike.

There's a small sitting area (benches on a deck/platform area) near the waterfall. I believe there's enough room to eat there (depending on the number of people).

There is a small deck with benches at the waterfall. My wife and I and our 3 kids ate our packed lunches there 😀
