For the average visitor, a casual drive is the essential means by which to see Badlands National Park. To do the scenery justice, drive slowly, and don't hesitate to get out and explore on foot when the occasion calls for it.
There is only a handful of tables here and no water or restrooms, but the incredible view makes it a lovely spot to have lunch.
A half-dozen or so covered picnic tables are scattered over this area, which rests against a badlands wall ½ mile south of Badlands Loop Road. There's no potable water, but there are bathroom facilities and you can enjoy your lunch in peaceful isolation at the threshold of the Badlands Wilderness Area. The Conata Basin area is to the east, and Sage Creek area is to the west.
Directly behind this visitor center are four covered tables, where you can picnic simply and stay protected from the wind. There are also restroom facilities.
