Named after nearby Pinetop Hill, this small recreation area has places to picnic along gurgling Jumpingpound Creek. The area is often snow-free earlier in the season than sites further west and is often carpeted with spring flowers. From here, hikers can access the eastern end of Jumpingpound Loop Trail, a loop trail that runs along Jumpingpound Creek and then back across a ridge dotted with evergreen and aspen forests.
