About This Access Site
Clark Recreation Area in Sharpsville offers a well-maintained paved boat ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorized vessels onto the Shenango River. The facility includes accessible amenities such as a fishing pier, fish cleaning station, and ample parking. This access point serves as one of three primary entry points along a scenic 7.5-mile stretch of river corridor, making it an ideal starting point for paddlers exploring the Shenango River Valley.

The recreation area is conveniently located near the Shenango Rec Area Campground, situated about one mile north, which offers reservable overnight camping for those planning extended trips. The site features open fields and picnic facilities, providing a comfortable setting for day use. Boaters should note that vessels must be registered or have a valid launch permit. This location works well as either a starting point for downstream paddling or a convenient take-out spot for river trips in the region.
