About

The Clark Picnic Shelter is located at the Clark Recreation Day Use Area on Shenango Lake, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. The covered pavilion can accommodate 36-48 people depending on seating configuration. Amenities include picnic tables, two grills, and seasonal flush restrooms with drinking water attached to the shelter. Electrical service (20-amp only) is available with a paid reservation. The surrounding recreation area offers an accessible fishing pier, fish cleaning station, paved boat ramp, and open fields for activities. Shenango Lake is popular for fishing crappie, bass, walleye, catfish, and muskellunge. Boating areas provide both unlimited horsepower and minimum wake zones. This is a day-use facility only. No overnight camping is allowed at this location. Visitors seeking overnight accommodations should check Shenango Recreation Area Campground, located approximately one mile north. The shelter must be vacated by 9:00 p.m. Alcoholic beverages and confetti are prohibited.
