Picnic shelters are available at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operated recreation areas at Cheatham Lake.  These shelters and day use areas are ideal for family gatherings and group outings.

Payment of reservation fees must be made in full  by credit or debit card at time the reservation is placed.  A $10 service fee will apply if you charge or cancel your reservation before 14 days of arrival date. There is no refund if you cancel your reservation within 14 days of your scheduled arrival.  

Parking is not guaranteed, in some areas it may be limited.  Please do not park in grass.  There is a $5.00 Day Use Fee charged at the entrance to Right Bank during the recreation season.

Please bring confirmation letter with you the day of your reservation.  The bulletin boards at each shelter are updated weekly with reservations.  If a shelter is not reserved, it may be used on a first come first serve basis.
