Carousel Pavilion & Shelter 6
What people say
Two reservable picnic structures sit closest to the carousel: the powered Carousel Pavilion on its east side and Shelter 6 above the carousel on the hill. The Carousel Pavilion is immediately east of the carousel; Shelter 6 is uphill above it. Construction has closed the separate shelter adjacent to the carousel shoreline. Do not confuse the open Carousel Pavilion with the lake-adjacent shelter closed by construction. Your permit name and number determine the correct setup location.
