Natural Features
Shenango River Lake stretches 11 miles up its namesake river, covering over 11,000 acres. The shore is lined with a northern hardwood forest of shady and colorful trees such as Black Cherry, Beech, Maple and Hemlock.
Recreation
The lake provides an attractive setting for picnicking, camping, boating or simply enjoying nature's beauty. Anglers fish for bass, walleye, muskellunge and a variety of panfish.
The lake is shallow and water levels generally drop throughout the summer, especially after the Fourth of July, depending upon rainfall.
The Coonie Trail is one-half mile in length. This self-guided interpretive nature trail invites visitors not only to experience the beauty of Shenango River Lake but also to learn about its varied habitats and relationships between plants, animals and humans.
Shenango Lake is an unlimited horsepower lake and has six free boat launches for access.
The Lakeside Picnic Shelter is located on site and can be reserved for reunions or other large gatherings.
