I and my family are considering renting a cabin from the State Park near the Jamestown area on Pymatuning Lake after the ice becomes safe.  Is there good ice fishing near the cabins (walking distance)?  Walleye and/or perch would be nice, but I am not too picky.
Thanks.

It drops off really quickly there. You're in 30FOW less than 50ys from shore. That's a good place to find fish in late ice, when they move deep. If you will be there during early ice, you may want to find some shallower water. Launch off of Jamestown Beach #1 and walk about 100yds North. Get a good topo map of the lake and find some humps and drop offs.
 
Pymie is FULL of fish. However, they can be difficult to find through the ice. If it were me, I'd get a cabin at Linesville. Just sayin'. ;)

the jamestown cabins wouldn't be a terrible option. linesville would probably be better. I think slabdaddy is talking about the jamestown launch, which is where it drops off very quick. Up by the state park cabins i its more like 6-15 ft deep  within walking distance of the cabins. The area can be productive for walleyes, and is usually a good crappie area.

Thanks for the advice.  The cabins at Linesville are not available in winter but I will try something!

Let me know when your coming and I can either give you info or even be able to (depending on work) meet up with you and show you some spots. If the temps do what they are saying it should be ready by the end of the week. Lows in the single to low teens and highs in the teens to low/mid 20's at the most all week and its already froze over since Tuesday. Heck even Conneaut may be ready by the end of the week seeing its been froze now for a couple days already! It's coming and it wont be long now!
