Thing to Do
Picnic at the Park
National Park Service
Looking for somewhere to stretch after a long drive?
Many picnic tables and open spaces can be found on the grounds of Fort Stanwix National Monument. Feel free to bring a picnic lunch or grab some food nearby and take advantage of the grassy lawn and places to run and get out the engergy of being cooped up in a car.
Accessible and large capacity picnic tables can be found on the west and north lawns/trails of park grounds. All trash generated is "Pack in, Pack out." But trash and recycling bins are available at the visitor center entrance for small amounts.
And everyone is always welcome to play on the grass!

- The trail surrounding the fort is approximately 1/2 mile long. It is partially paved and includes portions that consist of compacted gravel. Most accessible picnic tables are located within a yard of the trail on a well manacured lawn.
Service Animals
- Service animals are welcome at Fort Stanwix National Monument.
- Please keep in mind that some living history demonstrations, like cannon firing or musket firing demonstrations that take place in the reconstructed fort, can be stressful and scary for our animal companions.
