Located in Clark, PA (Mercer County), the Shenango Recreation Area offers a paved boat ramp providing access to the Shenango River and Shenango River Lake. This Army Corps of Engineers facility features an accessible fishing pier, fish cleaning station, and open grounds suitable for launching kayaks and canoes.

The Shenango River corridor provides approximately 7.5 miles of scenic paddling, with three access points between Kidds Mill Park and Big Bend for multi-launch trips.
