About
Seven Points Picnic Shelters offers five reservable shelters within the Seven Points Recreation Area at Raystown Lake, operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The shelters—Allegheny, Dogwood, Oak, Pine, and Redbud—each accommodate up to 80 people with approximately eight picnic tables and 20-amp electrical outlets. Each shelter is unique in location: Allegheny sits atop a hill with sweeping lake views, Dogwood and Redbud are near a sand volleyball court, Oak sits along the shoreline near the beach, and Pine is located near the Visitor Center. All shelters include adjacent playgrounds and horseshoe courts, with potable water hydrants and waterborne restrooms within 100-250 yards. The Seven Points Recreation Area features a public beach for swimming, boat ramp for lake access, and proximity to attractions like the Allegrippis Trails and Mountain Bike Skills Park. The shelters are popular for family picnics, birthday parties, and group gatherings. When not reserved, shelters are available first-come, first-served.
