Another excellent view is found at Brownsville Rock, 1/4 mile by trail northwest of the summit. This is also the hang gliding launch site.

The park has 39 wooded tent/trailer sites and 10 lean-to sites that are arranged within two camp loops. Each loop has a rest room providing modern plumbing and hot showers ($). There is a sanitary dump station for RV’s, but no hookups. There is a small picnic area at the foot of the summit, and a picnic area and shelter part way up the summit road.
