Shenango River Lake is a reservoir in the Shenango River Valley of western Pennsylvania and northeastern Ohio. Authorized by the Flood Control Acts of 1938, the lake is one of 16 flood control projects in the Pittsburgh District designed to prevent flooding. It is a popular site among anglers and is lined by 330 campsites.
The concrete Shenango Dam was completed in 1965, at a height of 68 feet and a length of 720 feet at its crest, as a flood control project of the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The reservoir has a maximum capacity of 351,000 acre-feet, and a normal capacity of 29,920 acre-feet.
Thank you so much for the lovely comments and favs that placed my. "Sometimes You Feel Like a Nut" on the PP! It is greatly appreciated!
A wonderful and naturally framed scene of this reservoir with the sun illuminating the autumn coloured trees and the jewel like sparkles on the water ! A very dreamy image !
