Shikellamy State Park offers a convenient boat ramp access point on Lake Augusta, a 3,060-acre impoundment on the Susquehanna River near Sunbury. The ramp is located near the Lake Augusta Boat Rentals building on the park's waterfront. This calm, reservoir-style water body is ideal for recreational paddling, boating, and fishing, with significantly less current than the free-flowing sections of the river downstream.
**Practical Information:** Parking is limited at the boat ramp lot, with approximately 20 dedicated trailer parking spots available during the boating season. Overflow parking is available near the central park area. The boat ramp serves as the primary access point for the lake and is also home to Shikellamy Marina. Be aware that ramp parking lot availability may be reduced during winter months due to marina dock storage. The area is popular with local rowing clubs and universities, so expect shared use during peak boating seasons.
