Boating
At Mosquito Lake, boats of all kinds including sail, motor, fishing, pontoon and paddle boats - not to mention jet skis - can be found sharing this 7,850 acre lake. Boaters will find five different launch areas that provide access to water.
Maximum boat speed on the lake is six miles per hour except in the ski and speed zone where 25 miles an hour is permitted.
Canoeing and Kayaking
If you crave the slower pace of paddling and prefer to look at nature up close and personal, Trumbull County offers a number of waterways where canoeists and kayakers will find miles of scenic areas that abound with wildlife.
At Foster Metro Park in Newton Township, paddlers can launch into the Mahoning River and continue downstream for 14 miles to Canoe City Metro Park in Leavittsburg. However portage at the Newton Falls Dam is required.
Paddlers can access Mosquito Creek at the lower end of Mosquito Lake south of the dam and follows this waterway through Bazetta and Howland Townships before it runs through the City of Niles and joins the Mahoning River in Weathersfield Township.
Canoeists and kayakers who paddle Pymatuning Creek can begin south of Kinsman and follow the creek as it runs southeast through the Shenango Wildlife Area into Orangeville before it crosses into Pennsylvania.
