Golden Run is a public boat launch located in Clark, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, providing access to the Shenango River and Shenango River Lake. This ramp is ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters looking to explore the broad, flat valleys of the Shenango River system. The area's gentle, meandering character makes it suitable for paddlers of varying skill levels seeking a scenic recreational outing.
The launch is conveniently situated near several amenities in the Shenango Valley region. A reservable campground (Shenango Recreation Area Campground) is located within 10 miles, making it easy to plan a multi-day paddling trip. The nearby Shenango Recreation Area itself offers over 300 campsites with electric hookups, as well as facilities like showers, drinking water, and dump stations. Additional boat launches in the area provide alternative access points along the water system.
