About This Access Site
Shady Nook is a public boat access area located in Hummels Wharf along the Susquehanna River in Snyder County. This 4.7-acre site was donated by PPL Utilities and features a dedicated boat ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The access point is a convenient spot for paddlers looking to explore this section of the scenic Susquehanna River in the Appalachian Mountains region.
The facility includes amenities that make it comfortable for a day on the water: a pavilion with picnic tables and grills, benches overlooking the river, and a port-a-potty for visitor convenience. The setting is particularly attractive for those seeking quieter fishing areas and scenic paddling opportunities. Before visiting, check current water conditions on the Susquehanna River and confirm any seasonal access restrictions that may apply.
