Dsage,

Lake Shawnee is owned and operated by Shawnee County and the fisheries are managed cooperatively with assistance from KDWP through the Community Fisheries Assistance Program (CFAP). Shawnee County operates the lake as a 'multi-use' lake and efforts are made to meet the demands of a wide array of user interests. KDWP's involvement deals primarily with fish management and angler access. Your question/concerns may be better served if presented to Shawnee County as they make the decisions on lake activities outside of those that KDWP is responsible for under the CFAP Memorandum of Understanding.
