Carawood Lake

Carawood Lake is a 30-acre private park, featuring a 2-acre (stocked) lake, rustic yet fully climate controlled Lodge, expansive lakefront lawn, and a real wood-burning fire circle. We also offer the ability for your entire party to camp on the grounds overnight before or after your event!
