No I don't think this is a good place to picnic. It is very hot and sunny, and I only saw one area to sit which is by the restrooms and a very small area with little to no shade. Also agree with previous comments regarding snake advisory. There have been numerous reports of vast amounts of snakes which have resulted in park closings this year. Be careful!
Not really. There is a shaded area near the restrooms however it's not really amenable to picnics. You would b better off finding a place with shaded picnic tables.
I would wait until the Fall to throw a tarp on the ground for a picnic. The snakes are really out in abundance this year.
No, not on the west side entrance. And idk if there are anymore entrances in addition to the main one.
