Most of the main picnic area overlooks the lake. Grills and modern restrooms are throughout the area.

Small picnic areas can be found at the Bullhead Bay Boat Launch to the north, and States Creek Mooring Area on the southern end of the lake.

Three picnic pavilions may be reserved up to 11 months in advance for a fee. If not reserved, the pavilions are free on a first-come, first-served basis.

Make a picnic pavilion reservation for Lackawanna State Park.
