Unfortunately, the rental building was closed when we visited. The parking lot is huge and several RVs were parked there and a few people were putting their own boat in the water. Memorial weekend, will probably open the beach and paddleboat rental season. The outside of the rental building did have Shawnee Lake maps and we looked for a trail close by.
