Dillon Lake Group Picnic Shelter

About

Dillon Lake Group Picnic Shelter is a day-use facility situated above Dillon Lake, approximately six miles northwest of Zanesville and twenty miles east of Newark, Ohio. The facility is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and provides a scenic setting overlooking the lake, grass-covered hills, and wooded areas. The shelter complex features 10 accessible picnic tables, multiple barbecue grills, a large fenced-in playground, a gazebo, and a fitness trail surrounded by park benches and landscaping. A large parking area is adjacent to the shelter. An accessible fishing pier is located below the dam. This is a reservable group day-use area, not an overnight campground. The shelter and playground areas are not maintained during winter months. Reservations are handled through Recreation.gov.
