Group Facilities

Whether it's a company picnic, family reunion or club celebration, we have many locations available to rent. We also offer unique locations for meetings and seminars.

  • Check the information below for group facility details and photos.
  • These facilities are booked by contacting the conservation area directly, and many need to be reserved well in advance.

General information

Detailed information including photos are found in the list of group facilities, sorted by conservation area, on this page.

Facility descriptions:

  • Large pavilions and special facilities

    • Many of our properties are unique. Some are totally enclosed and available in three seasons. Some of the large pavilions can accommodate more than 100 people.

  • Small pavilions and shelters

    • These have a roof for protection in bad weather and room for picnic tables inside. They are ideal for family reunions and corporate picnics.

  • Picnic areas

    • These do not have a roof, but can be reserved for family and group picnics and special events.

To book

Capacity

The capacity limits listed in the charts are a guideline to help you plan your event. Many locations can accommodate larger groups as more picnic tables can be set up. For details, please contact the conservation area.

Fees

In addition to the facility rental fees in the charts below, there is an additional reservation fee of $13.00. The rental fee does not cover conservation area admission; everyone entering the conservation area must also pay the day use gate admission fee.

Barbeques

Large barbeques are available at many locations, but not all.

NEW - Group Camping reservations are now made online and our fee structure has changed. Please see our Conservation Area Fees page for more details.
