We paid $80 - $90 to reserve a picnic shelter at Cole's Point for the day. The bathrooms that are part of the shelter were locked. We found human excrement on the backside of the enclosed part of the shelter containing the bathrooms. Totally unacceptable situation when you have a large family gathering and paid for the use of the full shelter.
