About
The Overlook Shelter is a day-use picnic area at Brookville Lake, operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Situated near the Brookville Lake Dam, the shelter offers one of the best panoramic views in Indiana, overlooking the lake and dam structure. A short trail connects the site to the Brookville Lake Visitor Center. The covered pavilion features 4 deck tables and 12 wooden picnic tables, two cooking grills, electric plug-ins, and a water spigot. A modern restroom facility is located nearby, along with a popular playground. Parking accommodates up to 76 vehicles. The shelter can be reserved for special events such as weddings by purchasing a $50 Special Activity Permit, though the area remains open to the public even during reserved events. This is strictly a day-use facility with no overnight camping permitted.
