About
Lone Point Picnic Shelter is a day-use group shelter located at the Lone Point recreation area on Lake Shelbyville's western shore. The reservable shelter sits next to the boat ramp parking lot and provides 6 picnic tables and a group grill for gatherings. Flush restrooms are a short distance away. The shelter does not have electricity and is not intended for overnight camping. The surrounding Lone Point area is heavily forested with oak and hickory trees providing ample shade. Lake Shelbyville offers excellent fishing for catfish, crappie, largemouth bass, muskie, walleye, white bass, and bluegill. Visitors have access to a multi-lane boat ramp, courtesy dock, and fish cleaning station. The 11-mile Chief Illini backpacking trail begins nearby and runs along the lake's edge.
