About Shawnee State Park
Shawnee State Park covers nearly 4,000 acres in the Ridge and Valley Province of Pennsylvania. Its centerpiece is a lake of about 450 acres, and the park combines modern recreation facilities with a natural setting. It sits a short drive west of the town of Bedford along US 30. Visitors can take part in activities such as boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, biking, picnicking, and wildlife watching, and the park also offers overnight stays. Seasonal educational programs run from spring into fall and include guided outdoor activities for all ages, and school and organized groups can book outdoor education sessions in advance.
