​Picnicking

A wonderful escape from a hot summer day awaits visitors in any of the six picnic areas. Nestled among hickory, oak, sweetgum, and tulip trees, the picnic areas have shelters, tables, fire grills, and water fountains. Some of the shelters can be reserved, so plan ahead and bring your family and friends. Shelter reservations at Randolph County SRA are available online at ExploreMoreIL™.
