About This Access Site
**Location & Access**
Lock #2 Recreation Area is located in Wrightsville, York County, at the southern end of Long Level along the Susquehanna River. The site features both upper and lower boat ramps, providing convenient access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boats. The ramps are situated just south of the Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper's office.
**What to Expect**
This is a scenic access point on the 53-mile Susquehanna River Water Trail (Lower Section). From Lock #2, paddlers can explore the Conejohela Flats, an important habitat area known for diverse shore and migratory bird species. The river in this section offers good opportunities for observation and fishing. The site provides a solid launching point for both day trips and longer paddling adventures on this major river corridor.
**Planning Your Visit**
Before heading out, check current river conditions and water levels, as the Susquehanna's flow can vary. The dual ramp system allows flexible launching options depending on water levels and conditions. This location is well-positioned for paddlers interested in the historic Susquehanna Riverlands area, including nearby heritage sites and river trails.
