Minersville Lake Park
Suggested by Merrill Webb
Directions: This is no longer a state park, but a small fee is
still required to access the picnic and boat ramp areas. The exit to the picnic
areas (and the south side of the reservoir where the dam is located) is twelve
miles from Beaver on State Road #21. Turn right (west) and drive less than one
mile to access the south part of the reservoir. There are actually two dirt
roads between Adamsville and this exit where access to the lake can be obtained.
Both are good for looking out over the lake. |
