Sadly they will never restore the picnic area at Elbow Falls. There is a sign telling people that repairs are not possible and where else they can go for picnics.
But the interesting thing is that people still come and bring their own BBQs and still picnic there It is a well loved area
Where had you found THE bench? I looked for it in vain...
How sad that it won't be restored.
As for the bench, we found it some place downstream, by chance. It was very distinctive and different from the normal picnic benches, so it stood out. But, everything was so destroyed and disoriented, I couldn't tell you exactly where it was.
