In this picnic area, there is a wide clearing with some cut down tree stumps made for people to sit and enjoy their lunch.  There's also a small pond nearby where people can feed fish and watch turtles sunbathe.

I love swimming in the river with the other fish. Mostly I spend my days looking for smaller fish to eat. When people cast lines into the river, we all swim away from them and hide. Sometimes one of the other fish gets confused and bites down on the lures.
Hello...I saw you the other day...are you a family of turtles? Silly fish. I'm just one turtle! Oh..sorry...my eyes see double and triple sometimes!  How have you been?  Catching some sun? Yes! and other things... Oh yummy!  Delicious!  Its not everyday that I get a juicy worm without fear of a hook being attached. Isn't feasting without concern just the best? Its amazing!  Do you get to eat this way all the time?  Does anything go after a turtle? There are some creatures that will try, but this old shell always keeps me safe. I wish my scales would help me out like that!  I haven't gotten caught yet though.   You can live in here with me, if youd like! Ha ha! If only I really could...to walk around and see so many things!  I've never been beyond this pond! Think of all the things you get to see though! All the mysteries those murky depths contains. What a magical life!
