Shelters

Those looking to rent a shelter in Ripley have their choice of three shelters at Cedar Lakes. Located on the west side of the campus, our shelters are the perfect outdoor venues for family reunions, family outings, corporate retreats, group events, picnics, birthday parties, and more. The close proximity of the playground, lake, covered bridge, campfire, and volleyball net creates a space that is great for outdoor fun for all age groups.
