About Shea Lake
CASH ONLY SITE This recreation site, located in a semi-open forest on the north end of Shea Lake, is popular for camping and fishing. There is 2 small distinct camping areas that are not that far apart. Camping spots are a good size so can accomodate medium sized motorhomes and fifth wheels. A small boat launch is avaiable for use. If you have specific questions regarding the site please email the site operator at: [email protected]
The fees for services are determined based on a detailed analysis of historical seasonal weather patterns. Site operators possess the flexibility to modify the specific dates for fee collections, allowing for adjustments within the established parameters. This adaptability is particularly important, as it enables them to respond effectively to varying weather conditions that may impact operations.
