Shy Beaver Boat Ramp provides excellent access to Raystown Lake, Pennsylvania's largest lake entirely within the state. Located in Entriken (Huntingdon County) at lake mile markers 21-22, this launch sits in a scenic cove and features a triple-lane ramp with a floating courtesy dock and 148 trailer parking spaces, making it well-suited for both kayakers and larger motorboats. The ramp is one of seven public launches on Raystown Lake, offering convenient access for day trips and extended paddling adventures.
The surrounding area provides ample recreation opportunities beyond paddling. Raystown Lake's 118+ miles of shoreline offers excellent exploration for kayakers and canoeists seeking scenic paddling. Nearby amenities include Nancy's Boat to Shore Campground (within 10 miles, reservable), making it convenient for paddlers planning overnight trips. The lake also supports fishing, swimming, and hiking opportunities throughout the Appalachian Mountains setting.
This is an ideal launch point for both casual paddlers and serious boaters looking to access the main body of Raystown Lake with reliable facilities and ample parking.
