Directions and Factoids
Directions: Take the Sharon/Hermitage exit 4b from Interstate 80 and go North on SR 18 for approximately 7 miles. Take the Birchwood Drive exit and head South on SR18 for about 1/4 mile. Turn right onto West Lake Drive and the Shenango Recreation Area is 1/4 mile on the left.

Factoid: 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.

NOTICE: Many states are discouraging or banning movement of firewood to control spread of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). Not bringing wood from home to your campsite and not taking unused wood you procure while camping home with you is recommended -- required in some states.
