Woodcock Lake Park Campground at Woodcock Creek Lake will be closed for the 2023 recreation season. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District announced the closure on Thursday, February 23rd. 

The district made the decision after reviewing past usage metrics and current budgetary constraints.

After the review the district said there was an inability to operate the campground at the safety and recreation standards maintained in the past. 

However, Woodcock Lake park's remaining day-use areas, including the swim beach, boat ramp, hiking trails, shelters and roadways will be open for public uses. 

Additionally, the Tionesta Lake and Shenango River Lake campgrounds will be open for the 2023 season.

In 2020, the 17-year leas agreement with Crawford County was terminated. The Corps of Engineers said it has be working to have a new third-part lease agreement to operate the campgrounds in the future.
