The picnic shelter at Shenango Lake was ideal for hosting a birthday party during the campground stay. It met the needs of the group effectively. However, a closer bathroom would have been a convenient addition.

Called "Lakeside" but it is definitely NOT Lakeside. You can barely even see the lake from here due to the trees.
Also, it said that bathrooms were there near the pavillion, but they were NOT! Very disappointing. We didn't even use the pavillion because it was so NOT what we wanted. We actually moved our event to the beach area.

Take Exit 4B off of I-80 and follow Route 18 north for about 8 miles until you cross the lake's causeway. The park is on the left, but this is a divided highway. Continue north for about 1/4 mile, exit to the right at Birchwood Drive, make the turn-around, and go south on Route 18. Before you cross the causeway again, make a right onto West Lake Road and travel approximately 1/4 mile to the park entrance on the left. There is an entrance booth where you will be directed towards the shelter. If no one is manning the booth, take a left after the booth. There are several large parking lots ahead. Make a right at the next stop sign, then a left at the last parking lot, then another right. This will bring you to a looped parking lot where the picnic shelter and parking is located.
