There is a nice spot at Spring Farm Trail head, again this is take in and take out so have a plan for your trash. There's a pavilion that is rented out but not always in use. Coxing kill parking lot has a great area for a picnic as well.
Yes, but be aware of ticks
Yes , absolutely. Br mindful of your trash:)
There is a tower at the top of the mountain with a grassy field around it for picnic spreads and great scenic views at the same time
Yes
It is take in and take out preserve. Meaning whatever you bring in you bring out. Mohonk mountain house would have food, but is pricey. Yes are plenty of scenic places to eat. Depends how much you want to hike.
