Under the Laurel Branch Picnic Area alternative, a day-use area on the north side of existing Lake View Road would be constructed. Outdoor facilities would include a multi-use picnic shelter, picnic tables, several loop trails, drinking fountains, and restrooms. Under the Partial-Build Alternative to Bushnell, up to 0 miles (00.0 km) of new roadway from the existing tunnel west to the vicinity of the former Bushnell settlement would be constructed.

Exhibit/museum space would be designed to highlight local heritage of the area and could include concession opportunities.
