A brown metal sign at the top of the ramp reads Big Oak Flat Information Station and has a National Park Service logo. It goes on to read: visitor information, with an icon of a question mark, wilderness permits, with an icon of a person hiking, and bookstore, with an icon of an open book. On the deck, near the side entrance to the information station are two large, grey, metal bins that look like trash bins.
