Situated within the suburban Shenango Valley, Shenango River Lake provides an attractive setting for your enjoyment. Visitors choose to spend their day picnicking, camping, or enjoying nature?s beauty. History buffs will enjoy exploring the remnants of the Erie Extension Canal, sections of which are located on project property. The Erie Extension Canal played a key role in the economic development of Northwestern Pennsylvania. The well-preserved remains of Lock Number 10 are found in Sharpsville, approximately one-half mile down stream of the Shenango Dam. Other historic features include the Kidd?s Mill Covered Bridge.

We got a spot with no problem next to the lake. It was easy to back into. There were tables, fire pits, bathrooms nearby, and fun trails throughout with playgrounds and lake access along the way. It was a fun crowd too. People decorated for Halloween! My kids had a blast, and it even rained for a whole day. Would highly recommend. Also, they must clean the bathrooms every hour! Wow we’ll be back

This was an October camping trip. The park was beautiful and our sites near the water were perfect. The park is very clean and although we didn’t have a shower house in our loop it was a quick ride to the nearest one. The restrooms were very clean and warm! We will definitely be back!!!

Wow! This campground is HUGE. The Recreation Area is a little difficult to find if using Google Maps to guide you, but once you enter, navigation is easy. We did not make reservations prior to arriving, but were able to easily find a campsite we liked. The camp host for the section we were in was not at their site, so I went to a different camp host around the loop. The woman (can't recall her name) who assisted me was extremely friendly and invited me into her rig to get my campsite reserved. We were very happy with our campsite - it was clean, level, and very spacious. I imagine this campground gets very crowded during other months, but in late September it was not a problem to get a site. I highly recommend this campground.

We came during the off season so there wasn't many people. We had a great time exploring the area on our Ebikes. The nearby town was gorgeous with a super cool bike path too. The only two real complaints I had are 1) the hot and cold are switched in the shower settings. I stood there way too long in the freezing water while it was 50° out at 3am before figuring that out. And 2) our camp host was gone the entire time we were there. We tried to stop by his trailer a few times to check in and ask a few questions but he was never there. I think we saw him once in the almost week we spent there.

The area was nice, but there was no true hiking trails. If you are looking for spacious campsites, this is NOT the place. The sites are too close with no true separation between them. The shower/restrooms were clean though.
