Great facility. We had our church Sunday school picnic at galt’s ferry pavilion and it was great. Great views of the lake. It was all we wanted with covered pavilion, picnic tables, horse shoes, rest rooms, running water, electricity and beach.

My family and I rented the shelter on Easter. Super friendly staff!! The shelter was clean and offered electricity. The park was pretty and well maintained, but the bathrooms were absolutely filthy. Toilets were clogged, toilet paper was all over the floors, the stench was awful and no hand soap was available.

Galts Ferry Landing pavilion is a great place to have a large group event. The pavilion is covered, has grills, and is close to the bathrooms, parking and the beach.

{"text"=>"Love launching my boat at Galts Ferry. Easy launching and normally lots of parking. Day use area is very nice as well. Buy the annual pass and save yourself a lot of time. And you can use it at all the CORP sites around the lake.", "languageCode"=>"en"}
