Shepard and Meyer Reservoir Access

Sheppard-Myers Reservoir offers public access via two parking areas—one on Impounding Dam Road with a portable toilet, and another at the south end on Tollgate Road near where South Branch Conewago Creek enters the reservoir.

The reservoir is open daily 5 am-9 pm and is managed by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission and Hanover Borough; note that no boats are permitted, making it suitable for shore-based activities only.

Kayak rentals are planned to be available once additional infrastructure improvements are completed.
