About This Access Site
Riverfront Park in Maytown, Lancaster County, offers public boat access to the Susquehanna River via a Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission-maintained ramp. Located along the 53-mile Susquehanna River Water Trail's Lower Section, this access point is well-positioned for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboat operators looking to explore this major river corridor.
The Susquehanna River at this location is a large, relatively slow-moving waterway suitable for paddlers of various skill levels. The park provides a convenient launching point with nearby facilities; other free public ramps are located approximately 4.5 miles upstream at Middletown Access Area and 8 miles downstream at Riverfront Park in East Donegal Township. This makes Maytown an ideal middle point for planning multi-day paddles or day trips on the water trail. Before launching, check current water conditions and confirm any specific access hours or seasonal restrictions through the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission.
