PICNIC


The Blackwater Reservoir is a relaxing place for a picnic. There are many picnicking spots on the reservoir that provide visitors with tables and shade. These spots are located at Guideboard road, Cogswell road, and at the Dam.

Be aware that the picnic area does not have running water for drinking or washing hands, so be sure to bring your own beverages and consider bringing hand wipes.

Pets must be kept on a leash no longer than 6 feet, and pet waste must be properly disposed.
