There are plenty of spots for fishing but some of them you will need to take a short hike down a gravel road. If you bring a wagon make sure it has bigger wheels but probably best to carry everything to make it easier. There is a fishing dock as well that's pretty big and most definitely is shareable with a few groups. The hiking trail that extends around to the dam is a fun walk since it goes in and out of wooded covering. Makes it great for sunny days as well. The playground is nice and maybe small to moderate size. There are BBQ stands to use and picnic tables. There are bathrooms but not very quick to get to from most parts of the park so keep that in mind. Great place to kayak as well! Great views and since the lake is narrow it makes it feel more like a river to go through. Super fun place! Glad to see them doing more work on it Only criticism is that there is lots of trash and even though it's the patrons fault, the park could do a better job at cleaning it up. Watch your little ones so they don't pick up pokey fish hooks or broken bottles.

Chapel Lake Park increasingly has two problems that diminish its appeal and safety. First, visitors…read morefishing from the grassy bank around the lake or sitting at benches near the canoe launch pad often leave trash on the ground. On any given day, you can see plastic bottles, plastic cups and straws, snack wrappers, food and bait cartons, plastic and paper bags, and the like carelessly thrown down on the ground instead of placed in trash cans that are available. Some of this trash winds up in the lake, which cannot be good for the fish, turtles, and frogs. Sometimes people leave their food trash (food cartons, cups, plastic bottles, half-eaten fast food) on the picnic tables by the little playground instead of simply discarding the junk in the trash can that is right by the playground. The other growing issue is rude kids on motorized scooters and motorized bikes traveling too fast around the park's paved trail. On June 2, 2026, two boys, both maybe 12 or 13 years old, were zooming on the path easily twice as fast as a normal bike can go, one of them angry at the other and screaming "mother f____er" at the other. This profanity could easily be heard at the little playground where small children and parents were. As this angry kid passed an older man walking on the trail, he shouted something like "You don't know what this is about, so don't look at me, a__hole!" The older man had not said a single word to this boy. These two boys left the park about 20 minutes later and went to the Crystal Springs subdivision off New Chapel Road. They both live in that neighborhood, so they can readily return to Chapel Lake Park, unsupervised and profane, to ruin the park experience for others.

He also will take his time to check every compartment while you have to stand outside your car. Rentals * they do have rentals for a pretty penny. If you forget a float which is necessary or you are kicked out. Entrance shenanigans * If you have a car any bigger than a Sudan you are probably going to get stuck at the entrance turn. * If you make it past the entrance you have to doge the potholes to the parking spots.

This cabin has a water spigot right outside, and is a 4 minute walk from a building with bathrooms (stalls with doors) & showers. There's a porch with a chair and porch swing. The sun rises right behind the swing over the lake. The campground gets very crowded, but this bundle of 4 cabins feel secluded enough. We had plenty of privacy from neighboring cabins and other campers. You have to reserve 2 nights online for cabins. This cabin was showing a single night of availability. We had to call to reserve but it was worth it. They'll let you book just one night like that if you're within 2 weeks of the date you want. Oh and this weekend in October they have a big Halloween thing so lots of people decorated their spaces and there was trick r treating.

You can rent an individual airstream trailer, a house/cabin, or I assume the entire property if you were having a huge event with out of town guests. The event space allows for your own vendors but at the open house their favorite vendors to work with were on site offering samples of there services, drinks, food. They had a smores bar set up with a great fire pit and all the accessories needed to roast a perfect marshmallow for your smore. Kayaks are situated around the property for use by guests. Each airstream has it's own covered sitting area with a fire pit and comfortable outdoor seating. Lovely interior airstreams, modern and fully equipped. Just an all around lovely space. A great idea for a family gathering or girls trip.

The more you paddle the faster you're gonna finish. Kids could enjoy this but there is no swimming just floating.
