About

The facility centers around Hemlock Shelter, a covered group picnic area available for reservation. Visitors can enjoy playground equipment and fishing access along the lake shoreline. This is not an overnight camping facility. The site functions as a picnic shelter rental for day-use activities such as family gatherings, reunions, and group outings. Restroom facilities are available on-site. For overnight camping in the area, visitors should consider nearby Trace Branch Campground, which offers traditional campsites, a boat ramp, and additional recreational facilities.
