About This Access Site
Lake Clarke Marina provides boat access to Lake Clarke, a scenic 10-mile impoundment formed by the Safe Harbor Dam on the Susquehanna River in York County. This access point serves as a convenient launch for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the calmer waters of the lake. The facility is managed by Safe Harbor Water Power Corporation and includes boat ramps and picnic areas for day-use visitors.
From this location, paddlers can explore the lake's quieter waters and venture toward the Conejohela Flats, an important wildlife habitat for migratory and shore birds. The area is patrolled by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 19-5, enhancing safety for all water users. Nearby amenities include restrooms and handicapped-accessible facilities. For those seeking additional services, Long Level Marina nearby offers boat storage and water-edge access during summer months, making this a well-supported recreation area for the Susquehanna River paddling community.
