About Shawnee State Park

Built around Shawnee Lake, a 451-acre warm water reservoir at its center, this 3,983-acre Pennsylvania state park sits across Juniata and Napier Townships. The lake serves as the park's main attraction, giving the land its focus and its name. Access comes by way of U.S. Route 30 near Schellsburg, as well as State Routes 31 and 96, making the park reachable from several directions.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
