Received on a Recreation and Public Purposes lease in 1964, Three Patches is among the longest running developed sites in the area. This picnic area has been a family favorite to visit for more than 50 years. All of the trees in this area were planted initially in 1965 by local boy scouts. Paved pathways provide safe access. Each small group site offers a picnic table and the option of either a standing grill or an in-ground fire ring. Large group sites with fire rings are also available for larger gatherings. This is a fee-free site. This site is ADA accessible.
Getting there
Travelling south from Rock Springs on State Highway 430, turn west onto County Road 4-27 and follow for 6.5 miles. Staying left (east) for 5 miles, turn north onto BLM Road 4401 and continue for .75 miles to the picnic area.
1991–2020 averages from the nearest NOAA station, 12.3 mi away — not measured at the facility itself, and elevation can make a real difference over that distance.
