Cowanshannock

The Cowanshannock Creek Access in Kittanning provides a convenient launch point for paddlers and boaters accessing the Allegheny River. This PA Fish and Boat Commission site is located upstream from the Crooked Creek area and serves as an important alternate access point, particularly useful during seasonal closures at other nearby ramps. The location offers good access to the main river channel with parking available for vehicles and trailers.

Paddlers should note that this access point is ideal for those exploring the Allegheny River in the Armstrong County region. The area is situated near scenic recreation opportunities, including nearby Crooked Creek Lake and Mahoning Creek Lake, both offering additional exploration options.
