Shehawken Access

The Shehawken access area is located on the West Branch of the Delaware River at river mile 0.6, near the mouth of Shehawken Creek in Wayne County, PA. This Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission public access point sits within the Upper Delaware National Scenic and Recreational River, offering paddlers and boaters convenient entry to this scenic waterway. The site provides a boat ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats.

As a major river with an average flow of over 30,000 cubic feet per second, the Delaware River here maintains a moderate current averaging 3.11 feet per second. The river's relatively gentle gradient of 2.7 feet per mile makes it suitable for recreational paddling, though boaters should be aware of the steady flow typical of this significant waterway. The surrounding area is largely undeveloped within the National Scenic and Recreational River corridor, providing a pleasant paddling experience with access to natural scenery.

For trip planning, contact the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission for current information on parking availability, facility hours, and any access restrictions. The location at the intersection of PA Routes 191 and 370 makes it relatively easy to find.
