Howe Township Park offers a public boat ramp on the Juniata River in Newport, Perry County, providing access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters. The facility features dedicated ramps for boats, canoes, and kayaks, making it a versatile launch point for various watercraft. This access point is located upstream of the popular Greenvalley launch area, allowing paddlers to access scenic stretches of river with nice water conditions downstream.
The site is maintained by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission as an official public access area. Paddlers looking to explore the Juniata in this section should plan ahead, as the facility may occasionally have maintenance work. If the Howe Township ramp is unavailable, the nearby Greenwood Access upstream provides an alternative entry point. The location works well for both paddlers interested in floating downstream and those launching small motorized boats on the river.
