Shelter 1: This is a 20' x 40' (small) shelter. It can accommodate up to 40 people and is 250 feet from the swimming beach, handicap fishing pier and boat rental house. The shelter is reserved for your group all day (beginning 8 am to dusk). The park's snack bar and bathhouses are about 350 feet away. The shelter features pedestal grills and tables but no electricity. There is a drinking fountain. Generators are not allowed. Two commercial "play centers" with swings and a volleyball net are also within walking distance, as are trailheads for a hiking and a 14-mile multi-use trail. Parking and swimming fees are not included in the shelter rental fee. Each shelter guest must pay applicable daily parking or admission fees. If you'd rather arrange to have such fees for your guests paid up-front, please contact park staff before the day of your event. Also, a special use permit and additional fees may be required for any activities other than simply picnicking; call the park beforehand to discuss such issues as processing Special Use Permits may take up to 30 days. No refund within 14 days before reserved date. Before then, there's a cancellation fee. Picnic Shelters are considered a rain or shine event; if you desire to transfer your date, you must do so by calling 1-800-933-7275 9am to 5pm ET Mon-Fri only. Transfers are NOT done by the parks nor on the date of the picnic.
