The Colvin boat ramp provides convenient access to Shawnee Lake, a 451-acre recreational lake in Schellsburg, Bedford County. This is one of three launch areas around the lake and features an ADA-accessible main dock and ramp, making it welcoming for paddlers and boaters of all abilities. The facility supports a variety of watercraft including kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, rowboats, and electric motorboats.
Shawnee Lake operates under specific boating regulations designed to maintain a safe, peaceful environment: only electric motors are permitted, and all vessels must operate at slow speeds with no wake. These rules make the lake ideal for kayakers and canoeists seeking quiet water paddling. The park offers boat rentals if you don't have your own equipment, and there are 146 dry-boat mooring spaces available around the lake for those needing to store vessels.
The location also provides proximity to other regional attractions, including Flight 93 National Memorial. Whether you're planning a leisurely paddle or a full day on the water, Colvin offers reliable access and amenities for recreational boating on protected lake waters.
