Greenbrier Picnic Area

Choose a smaller, year-round picnic area beside the Little Pigeon River in Greenbrier. Nearby valley walks make it an easy meal break.

Greenbrier Picnic Area

Why go

Greenbrier Picnic Area offers a small riverside meal stop in the park's northeastern valley. Tables sit near the Little Pigeon River, where the water and shaded setting make a good pause between walks. Pair a picnic with a walk farther into Greenbrier to spend more time in this valley than a drive-through allows.

What to look for

  • A shady daytime recreational area with tables and charcoal grills along the Little Pigeon River.

Useful to know

  • The main picnic area is open year-round; its pavilion is a separate reservable site.
