Through classes, workshops, school tours, community programs and hands-on experiences, we look to demonstrate attainable practices to better the lives of all people.

To ensure an environment that is family friendly and mitigate the risk of injury Bending Oak does not permit alcoholic beverages or recreational drugs at the farm.
Guests who stay in one of our permaculture cabins are participating in a permaculture design process where the goal is to create a system of abundance. During your stay, you will be challenged to think differently about how you go about meeting your daily needs. By design, you will encounter limits to the typical expectations of your living space, which grants you the opportunity to think deeply about what really is important to you and join us in exploring effective possibilities in meeting these expectations. After all, necessity is the mother of invention.
This is our first study of building a sustainable living environment. We started with a blank slate, a new system designed with the permaculture principles in mind and the intention of ultimately creating a living space with the creature comforts we have all grown accustomed to. Eventually we will be building the next round of accommodations (principal: Small & Slow Solutions). When staying in one of our cabins, you are participating in this process by sharing with us your experience (principal: Observe & Interact), letting us know what you have discovered you can and can not live without, and possible solutions to efficiently address those needs and wants (principal: Apply Self Regulation & Accept Feedback).
We look forward to your stay with us and your participation in creating abundance in this living space!

And there is also a class D shooting range nearby. So what if you don’t want to hunt?

River shenanigans are the best here, from fishing on a lazy day to kayaking on a more adventurous one, and just about every water-related thing you can imagine in between. You can also get into lots of shenanigans in the forested hills throughout the park all year-round. In the summer, wrangle yourself a horse and take a gallop along one of the many equestrian trails, or stick to your feet and explore a maze of hiking trails.When the winter winds begin to blow and a blanket of snow covers the ground, it’s time to whip out your snowshoes and cross country skis, or the horse(power) of the snow—the snowmobile. Finally, if you’re interested in history shenanigans, check out the well-preserved remains of the Erie Extension Canal, which played a major role in the economic development of Northwestern Pennsylvania. Or head over to the charming and historic Kidds Mill Covered Bridge. We aren’t kidding when we say there really are shenanigans for everybody to get into at Shenango River Lake.

Park 49mi from Aliquippa · 338 sites
Don’t worry hunters, fishers, and gatherers, there’s enough of Berlin Lake to go around! The more lake the merrier, right? This 8.518-acre wildlife area is most known for it’s fishin’ and huntin’. Other reasons for which--shall we say--the areas has become popular for includes dog training, and hunting dog field trials. Walleye, bass, and crappie dominate the fishing in Berlin Lake. And there is also a class D shooting range nearby. So what if you don’t want to hunt? You better believe that there is boating, picnicking, camping, and whatever other adventures you can imagine your two feet taking you to in the area. Fish on!

You can get into all sorts of shenanigans in Shenango River Lake Park. River shenanigans are the best here, from fishing on a lazy day to kayaking on a more adventurous one, and just about every water-related thing you can imagine in between. You can also get into lots of shenanigans in the forested hills throughout the park all year-round. In the summer, wrangle yourself a horse and take a gallop along one of the many equestrian trails, or stick to your feet and explore a maze of hiking trails.When the winter winds begin to blow and a blanket of snow covers the ground, it’s time to whip out your snowshoes and cross country skis, or the horse(power) of the snow—the snowmobile. Finally, if you’re interested in history shenanigans, check out the well-preserved remains of the Erie Extension Canal, which played a major role in the economic development of Northwestern Pennsylvania. Or head over to the charming and historic Kidds Mill Covered Bridge. We aren’t kidding when we say there really are shenanigans for everybody to get into at Shenango River Lake.

We camped at the aspen overlook with our kids, dogs and our pop up camper. The property was amazing and very secluded on a high ridge overlooking the woods and pond. There were lots of hiking trails throughout the land as well. The ponds and creeks were very pretty. We brought wood but not enough, we were thankful that some was provided. The grounds are very well kept and the porta potty was very clean.

Great Hosts, Great Communication!
Stayed for 2 nights and the property is very clean and well kept. Plenty of fish in pond, Large Mouth Bass, Striped Perch, and Blue Gills.
No cell service so you can unwind. Had a peddle boat for use, be we didn’t try it. Heard Coyotes in the evening. It was a wonderful weekend. Highly Recommend.

This campsite was a dream—beautiful overlook of the trees, super private, and plenty of space to relax. Firewood was provided, and the port-a-potty was hands-down the cleanest we’ve ever seen. Our dogs had a blast, too! Can’t wait to come back.

The campsite was wonderful. Peaceful and relaxing. A bunch of extra convenience not normally expected! Numerous chairs, picnic table, extension cord, a LED pole light that you can choose to be on or off, groomed hiking/ side-by-side trails, porta-potty, firewood box with kindling, lighter fluid, newspaper, and lighters! Even a distant donkey could be heard. Beautiful overlook deck and nice grass (no flowering weeds for bees). Occasional motor noises but did not interfere.

I almost don't want to write a glowing review so I can keep this camping spot all to myself! The spot was very well secluded and quiet. The grass was mowed and VERY little bugs, like none. Plenty of level space for car camping (I sleep in my full-size SUV) and the pine trees in the same camp spot are great for hammocks. The campsite layout is like a horseshoe with plenty of shade along the border but an open spot in the center for star gazing. The fire pit was a great size and plenty of dry firewood was provided. There was even kindling, dry packing paper, lighter fluid and a lighter! Plenty of comfy plastic chairs for around the fire and a fullsize picnic table. The porta-potty was very clean and hand sanitizer bottle was full.
The evening was very quiet and peaceful. Of the 6-7 camp spots I've been to, this is my favorite BY FAR. You won't be disappointed. 11/10 stars

I really enjoyed staying on Don’s land! It was quiet and private. There are many trails on the property which give a great opportunity to explore the woods while staying close by. Lot of bird and wildlife to be heard and seen. I’d definitely recommend staying here!

We had a great weekend at Bill and Nancy’s. Bill would swing by daily and check to see if we needed anything. We were in the large group spot. We had a group of 15, and we weren’t crowded. The only downside? Mosquitos! Overall; nice spot, truly nice host! We would camp there again.

We loved the secluded setting. We had 60 acres of trails and nature completely to ourselves. Ample firewood and a cooking great were provided. It’s a nice level site, which helps if you’re setting up a vehicle. Already recommended to our friends.

What a great host and really couldn’t have asked for a better camping experience!If you want that real camping feeling(from no service, to hearing the coyotes at night and the closest stores for anything are about 15 minutes away) this is the place! Truly would recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice break from the real world! Thank you for this experience!

This camp was a wonderful experience. The host was professional and inviting. The site was well prepared and laid out. We didn't stay in the cabins but we peeked inside and found them to be mych better than the cabins we've sen at other camp sites.
The facilities were clean. The setting has so much to offer, both for enjoyment but also for those who want go learn cleaner living.
This is a must go!
