Overview Situated within the suburban Shenango Valley, Shenango Lake provides an attractive setting where visitors can spend the day picnicking, camping, fishing, boating, or enjoying nature's beauty at one of the lake's many recreation areas. The Mahaney Rec Area Day Use is located off of Kelly Road in Hermitage, PA, adjacent to the Shenango Dam, and provides four covered group picnic shelters (Trails End, Spruce Cove, Skyline and Rolling Meadows Shelters) with electric as well as a disc golf course and access to the lake to go boating and fishing.

Picnickers can rent, for a fee, one of our seven picnic pavilions located within four different recreation areas. Boating is a popular activity where areas are provided on the lake for unlimited horsepower operation, as well as restricted horsepower and minimum wake operation. Many fishing enthusiasts are attracted to the waters of Shenango for the crappie, bass, walleye, catfish and muskellunge that inhabit the river, lake and tailwaters. Campers visiting the lake will enjoy spacious facilities at our 330-site campground. Facilities The Mahaney Rec Area Day Use offers four group picnic shelters (Trails End, Spruce Cove, Skyline and Rolling Meadows Shelters) that can each accommodate between 42-56 people, depending upon the use of 6-8 people per table.
