Overview

Shawnee Lake is a public water in the rivers, lakes and mountain streams of Pennsylvania, open to boating, fishing and paddling. Anglers here target smallmouth and largemouth bass, walleye, muskellunge, channel catfish, crappie and panfish. Pennsylvania's famed limestone and freestone streams hold wild and stocked trout.

Best Time to Visit

Spring and fall are typically the most productive and comfortable times to fish here; summer brings the warmest water and the most boat traffic, and winter offers hard-water fishing once safe ice forms.

Safety

Conditions are usually milder than big water, but wind can still build a chop on open stretches. Watch for shallow bars, stumps and swimmers near shore, and check the forecast before a long run.

Recreation

On a lake like this, weed edges, drop-offs, points and structure hold fish through the open-water season.

Public access points along Shawnee Lake put boaters and paddlers on the water.
