What Guests Are Saying

The Manitou Lake Pavilion features a cool structure and offers beautiful views of the lake. However, there are some drawbacks, including a non-functional spigot and limited trash disposal options with only one can available for the large area. Overall, the venue provides a pleasant atmosphere with room for improvement.

Cool structure with a beautiful view of the lake. Unfortunately the spicket outside of it did not work and there was only one trash can for what felt like a large area of the lake.

It is a really pretty place to have a picnic, watch the wildlife, go fishing, or go on a little walk around the lake.
