    Tips

    Cycling

    Salt River Picnic Area is part of the Granite Reef Recreational Area. Here, visitors will not find a lot of parking spots for cars, but the area has great amenities, making it very popular. Boaters can launch non-motorized boats along with shoreline fishing year-round. There is also good bird watching for warblers, shorebirds, and spring and fall migratory birds.

    Not much space for car parking, but great for biking, and boating.
