What Guests Are Saying
The shelter rental at Fishtrap Lake was a wonderful experience, equipped with all necessary amenities for a cookout, including a grill, electricity, tables, and nearby bathrooms. The booking assistance from Lilly was impressive, and Shelter 2 is accessible, featuring handicapped parking and concrete sidewalks for those with mobility issues. Overall, the facilities met all needs for a successful gathering.

The shelter we rented was already being occupied by a large household shower party. There were no signs at the shelter indicating that we had it rented. So, we had to go elsewhere. I will never rent from there again.

We was told we could have water access and we was not allowed the water access. Need to be more clear on the rules

Had what we needed for a cookout. Grill, electricity, tables, garbage cans, playground and bathrooms nearby. We had a few people with mobility issues and Shelter 2 has handicapped parking and concrete sidewalks to the bathrooms and very close to the parking.
