Picnicking and Shelters
Picnic Shelters
There are three shelters at Lake Crabtree available for rental. Each shelter has a large cooking grill and tables, as well as its own horseshoe pit. Those renting shelters can check out horseshoes, volleyballs, badminton and softball equipment at no extra charge at the Maintenance Facility, first driveway on the left after entering the park.
Reservations can be made through the Park Office, second driveway on the left, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., either in person or by calling 919-460-3390. Same-day rentals are not available. Cancellations due to rain are not allowed. Unreserved shelters may be used free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis.
