Fire Creek Falls - decent hiking trails and beautiful waterfalls (although the trail to the top of the falls is a little rough and many trees have fallen into the delivery river to the falls marring the beauty slightly, imo). The drive to get to the falls is beautiful and costs nothing to park and explore the creek, beautiful foilage and woods. This is probably what I would recommend the place for - a chance to park your car and sit out by a lovely river, with a few swimming holes and enjoy a barbeque picnic. Has public toilets and several picnic benches for eating and grilling.
