Lakeside dining at Powell Lake
Where locals have brought their guests...since 1986
Powell Lake Marina on Powell Lake was purchased in 1983. It was bankrupt at the time and in a state of disrepair. The property consisted of an old shop, a marina, gas dock and a small coffee shop. Through many long hours and a lot of hard work, owner, Dave Formosa, opened and operated a boat sale service shop alongside the marina. After a number of years in business, Dave added onto the coffee shop and opened the Shinglemill Pub and Bistro in 1986.

The Shinglemill was named after the community that occupied the property during the early and mid part of the 1900's. The small community grew up around a mill that produced shingles.

There are many photographs of the early days taken of the shingle mill and community and Powell Lake displayed throughout the pub and bistro.

The Shinglemill is located on pristine Powell Lake. The lake, created during the last ice age, is 32 miles long and is a favorite recreational area for locals and visitors.
