Iron Mountain Picnic Ground
Iron Mountain Picnic Ground is a nice picnic area with several picnic tables, a pit toilet, and a couple of hiking areas. There is a trail that is part of the Centennial Trailhead, one that goes to the Iron Mountain Trail, and a nice pathway that goes to a bunch of rocks great for climbing around and fun for kids. The paved pathway also leads to some great views of Mount Rushmore, but you have to climb around the rocks to see it.
