You’ll find two picnic tables and one rock fire ring. Wildflowers and Washington lilies bloom all summer long, enhancing to the beauty of this site.

Gideon Creek Day Use Area is a wonderful location for picnicking, photography, birding, and just relaxing to enjoy the stunning views of Miller Lake.
