About Airport Beach Shelter

Anglers will find plenty of catfish, crappie, large and smallmouth bass as well as sunfish. A swimming beach, boat ramp and dock all help visitors enjoy the lake. Facilities The accessible shelter fits 110 guests, and a picnic area with grills and tables makes the park ideal for large parties and family functions.
