Feeling hungry? Stop by the Devils Tower picnic area for lunch after a hard day’s hike! With grand views of Devils Tower to one side and the babbling Belle Fourche River to the other, enjoy your food while enjoying the outdoors. Practice fire safety when using the grills in the picnic area. Do not leave fires unattended; ensure fires are extinguished before leaving. As always, check for any fire restrictions before using the grills. The picnic area is open year-round, but the road leading to it may close due to inclement weather. Bathrooms are available to visitors during the spring and summer months.
