About This Access Site
Located in Duncannon along the Susquehanna River, this access site offers a full-service launching option for boaters and paddlers. The facility features a boat ramp suitable for trailer access and includes on-site amenities such as boat rentals, making it convenient for those without their own equipment. The campground setting provides overnight accommodations if you're planning a multi-day paddling trip on the Susquehanna.
The Susquehanna River at this location is a large, relatively gentle waterway typical of its lower sections, making it accessible for paddlers of various skill levels. This mid-river access point (between Harrisburg and the Maryland border) is well-positioned for day trips or longer paddles along this scenic central Pennsylvania corridor. Given the campground's dual focus on camping and boating services, it's a good choice if you want integrated facilities for launching, parking, and lodging in one location.
