Lone Pine Picnic Area“Up ahead is Lone Pine Picnic Area, a small roadside stop overlooking Sussex Inlet. I'd use it for a short pause if you're already exploring Ellmoos Road, with water and a low, wooded shore across the view.”

Guide
Lone Pine Picnic Area is a small stop on Booderee's southwest side, beside Sussex Inlet along Ellmoos Road. Keep it as a short pause if you're already exploring this end of the park; the inlet view is the point, rather than a large attraction or a planned outing.
Ellmoos Road is unsealed. The stop's parking layout and facilities aren't established, so don't count on a picnic table, toilet or drinking water if your plans depend on them.
From Lone Pine, the view opens over Sussex Inlet toward a low, wooded far shore, with a sandy edge beside the water. It's a simple place to stop, stretch your legs and take in the inlet before continuing along the road.
