Best picnic spots near Sycamore Creek Trailhead

Just got back from a hike at Sycamore Creek and I'm still thinking about the perfect spot to stop and eat. If anyone's done the hike before, where did you stop to eat? I was thinking of trying the picnic area near the creek, but heard there's a nice spot just a mile or so back down the trail. Anyone have any recommendations?
