Muskrat Springs provides access to the Juniata River in Mifflintown, Juniata County. This Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) access site serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to launch on this scenic Appalachian river. The ramp location offers convenient entry to a popular paddling and fishing destination.
**Note on Current Access:** Check ahead before visiting, as maintenance work has periodically affected this access point. When Muskrat Springs is unavailable, paddlers can use the PFBC's Walker Access upstream or Thompsontown Access downstream as alternatives. The Millerstown Community Park also provides a primitive access option between Thompsontown and Greenwood.
For the most current conditions, hours, and any temporary closures, contact the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission directly. This location is well-suited for paddlers exploring the middle Juniata River section and offers good access for both day trips and longer paddles between the various PFBC launch sites along this stretch.
