Nothing's more enjoyable than a picnic during the summer. At North Hartland Lake, picnickers can dine near the lake or in the shady woods or take advantage of our covered picnic shelters.

Our shelters can be reserved for a fee. Grills are provided at the shelters, with playground equipment, horseshoe pits, volleyball nets, and restrooms nearby.

A Nature Center with exhibits and activities for children of all ages is also located in the recreation area. North Hartland Lake has also been the site of large gatherings ranging from weddings to Scout day camps and "Klondike Derbies".

The large upper shelter (picture top) is located near the bathroom and the playground. It is on the left side of the road when driving into the park.

The small shelter (picture below right) is on the right side of the road when driving into the park. It is across from the playground and bathroom.

The large lower shelter (picture below) is the newest shelter. It is located on the right side of the road and closer to the beach.

For more information on shelters and special use permits, please call (802)-295-2855.
