Summary

AI generated

The Veterans Lake Pavilion boasts a beautiful location and cleanliness, with well-stocked bathroom facilities. While there were some disturbances from other visitors, such as grilling and skateboarding, once the area was clear, the experience improved. However, the presence of other guests led to a decision not to return.

Pavilion location is beautiful and was clean with appropriate rental signage. Nearby bathroom was clean and well stocked with TP. The only negative was there were no seat covers. We loved every moment!

When we arrived, there were people using the grills. There were also people sleeping in the pavilion and skateboarding in the pavilion. There were a couple areas of access to the water from the pavilion area. but the people that were already there had their kayaks in the probably four feet at the most spots. Once we got everyone off the area that we paid for it was enjoyable. We will not be doing this ever again.

We really love the area. It is very beautiful and peaceful. I rated it a three for two reasons. If you are going to charge a reservation fee then there should be someone updating the signs so that others know it is reserved. Our name wasn't on there but luckily no one had come.
Also, I know it is outside but you might want to clear some of the spider webs and wasp nests. We spent the entire time trying to avoid wasps.

The space at the pavilion was large enough. We actually had a small wedding in the pavilion. Parking was adequate.
The only thing that was missing would be running water/sink and electricity hookups. We did have a generator for that. Beautiful views.

It was a beautiful sight, we were surprised to see how clean it was and more so it was private just for our group. We will definitely rent the Veterans Pavillion again !
