Picnic Area Reservations are only available during regular lake operating hours from February to October. Operating hours vary. Please check our homepage www.lakejennings.org for the most current hours of operation.
Picnic Area Reservations are a minimum of 4 hours. Additional hours can be added to the reservation for an extra fee. Set-up and clean-up time must be included in your reservation. Reservation time blocks are 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. & 1:00-5:00 p.m. Additional time blocks will be added when the lake has expanded hours after Memorial Day.

All applicable fees and a refundable security deposit of $50 is required to reserve a picnic area.

The deposit will be refunded within 72 hours after the reservation period concludes, provided the picnic area has not been defaced or damaged and all litter/recycling have been properly disposed of. Deposits will be forfeited if the picnic area is not vacated and cleaned up by the authorized reservation time.
