About This Access Site
Located in New Kensington above Lock 3 on the Allegheny River, Lighthouse Marine Sales offers two dedicated boat launch ramps for different user types. The North Ramp accommodates motorized boats, while the South Ramp is designated for personal watercraft (PWCs) and non-motorized vessels like kayaks and canoes. This separation makes it a well-organized access point for paddlers seeking to launch into this major Pennsylvania waterway.
This site is conveniently positioned just a short distance from Pittsburgh, making it accessible for day trips and longer paddles along the Allegheny River. For detailed information about specific amenities, parking availability, current conditions, and any fees, contact Lighthouse Marine Sales directly at 877-289-9652 (toll-free). Paddlers planning extended trips on the Allegheny should consider consulting the Allegheny River Paddling Guide, which provides waterproof maps, access points, and navigation information for the river system.
