Overlook Park offers a beautiful view of Clinton Lake dam and ample space for various activities, making it ideal for gatherings. While some guests experienced issues with insects and access to food areas, many appreciated the accommodating staff and the park's facilities, including volleyball and horseshoes. Overall, it is a great location for events, especially with the provided lighting for evening use.

It was a very bad experience . I do understand it’s nature but we rented the shelter and we could not even have our food out. There were so many insects flying around the entire area. We could not even set down. We could not have our food out or anything . The kids could not even play on the playground it was so horrible.

First bring plenty of help to move things, it's a long walk from the car to the shelter house. But well worth it. We had bags and a frisbee game to add to the already volleyball and horseshoes, so there was plenty of activities. We loved as it got dark they had lights to help visit and with cleanup. Love to rent and have gatherings here! Thanks

It is a beautiful shelter that is perfect for grilling with two grill options. We love to use this for large group BBQs. The views of the lake are a wonderful, added bonus.

Even with the rainy weather, the shelter house was perfect for my graduation party!

Great place for our picnic of about 100 people. Everything we needed- the shelter, tables, fire pit and water on site.
