South Overlook Recreation Area

South Overlook is a fun area for boaters and picnickers alike!  A three-lane boat ramp for lake access is available for boaters looking for a fun day on the water, and there's even a fish cleaning station for anglers to clean the day's catch.  Two picnic shelters are available for reservation for events, and they're also open to first-come, first-served use for visitors taking a break to eat a leisurely lunch. 

Shelters can be reserved online at www.recreation.gov or by calling toll free 1-877-444-6777.
