Amity Hall

Amity Hall provides convenient access to the lower Juniata River just north of Duncannon in Perry County. This is the final access point before the Juniata merges with the Susquehanna River, making it an ideal launch for paddlers and boaters exploring this section. The river here is notably wide and deep, offering good conditions for kayaking, canoeing, and motorized boating. Paddlers can travel upstream or downstream with relative ease, though caution is advised around submerged rocks and obstacles, including remnants of a historic aqueduct structure beneath the water.

The lower Juniata at this location is characterized by calm, deeper water suitable for various watercraft. However, note that the shoreline offers limited space for wading or shore fishing. If you're planning a longer paddle, consider that this access point marks the end of the Juniata before it joins the Susquehanna system. The area's setting in Pennsylvania's Appalachian region provides scenic views, and nearby attractions like Hunter Mansion and Park add to the appeal of a paddling excursion in this area.
