Point of Northumberland offers convenient access to Lake Augusta on the Susquehanna River in Northumberland County, PA. This concrete ramp features ample parking for vehicles with trailers and provides easy water access for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. The site is well-positioned for launching into this section of the Susquehanna River system.
Lake Augusta tapers significantly in depth, running approximately 12 feet deep near the dam but shallowing to just 2.5 feet at its uppermost reaches. Paddlers should be aware of this changing depth profile when planning their route. The access point serves as a popular spot for fishing and recreational water activities, making it a busy launch area during peak times. For additional Susquehanna River access options in the region, Shikellamy State Park on Packers Island (between Sunbury and Northumberland) also provides river access.
