Speers Landing is a public boat access point on the Monongahela River near Monongahela, PA, offering a ramp suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small to medium motorboats. **Important note: The boat ramp is currently non-functional due to water level changes from a recent U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project.** Before planning a trip, contact local authorities to confirm current conditions and availability. Directions from Monongahela: take PA-837 South 1.3 miles, then turn left on Nelston Street to reach the access point.
