About Veterans Lake Pavilion
Overview
Veterans Lake Pavilion provides a scenic opportunity to rent a space for your next outdoor event or celebration. Located in the Platt Historic District, it is approximately 5-7 minutes from the town of Sulphur and is an ideal spot for hosting birthday parties and other gatherings with friends and family.
A fishing dock and exercise area are located nearby. These areas may be used by your party but are also open to the public.
Recreation
Boat, swim, or fish on Veterans Lake. Hike, walk or bike the Veteran's Trail that loops around the lake. Veteran's Trail is the only paved trail in the park, which makes it stroller and roller blade-friendly. Visit the park's Hiking and Walking page for more trails. The Bison Pasture is just up the road, so bring the kids and cameras to see the beautiful animals grazing.
Facilities
The 40-person picnic area has easy access to a boat launch. There's a grill but no electricity, so be sure to bring charcoal if you plan to have a cookout.
Natural Features
Chickasaw National Recreation Area is where two ecosystems, the eastern deciduous forest and the mixed-grass prairie of the west, converge. This creates unique geological formations and attracts a wide variety of plant and animal species.
Nearby Attractions
The Travertine Nature Center is worth a visit, as is the collection of springs and seeps nearby. Pavilion Springs, Black Sulphur Springs and Hillside Springs are the region's remaining natural mineral springs and have historically been used for medicinal and restorative healing.
