What Guests Are Saying
South Shore Recreation Area offers a great location with ample space for family gatherings, clean restrooms, and convenient parking. However, recent reviews highlight a lack of picnic tables and some outdated furniture, as well as the absence of a dumpster at the pavilion, which has led to concerns about maintenance. Overall, while there are some areas for improvement, it remains a popular choice for reunions.

My family has been having our reunions here for over 20 years. This year there was not enough picnic tables, some of the picnic tables were so old that the bench seats were warped and splintered. No dumpster at the pavilion so we had to haul the garbage away. Every year southshore seems to be going downhill.
