The Pavilion is located on a high point of land between Sandy Beach and the camping area. It is a long structure with a low hip roof supported by a row of square posts. The sides of the building are open except for the west end, which is clad with log siding. The entire structure rests on a concrete pad. A distinguishing feature of the building is the attractive fieldstone fireplace in the enclosed portion at the center of the west façade. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
