About This Access Site
The Susquehanna Yacht Club in Wrightsville, York County, provides boat access to the Susquehanna River, one of the largest river systems in the Eastern United States. This location offers a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore this section of the river. The site is situated in the lower Susquehanna, where the river is wide, relatively calm, and suitable for various paddling abilities and vessel types.
As a private yacht club facility, access and amenities may be limited to members or require special permission—contact the club directly to confirm launch privileges, parking availability, and any fees or permits that may apply. The lower Susquehanna in this area is generally free-flowing with minimal gradient, making it accessible for recreational paddling, though boaters should be aware of occasional barge traffic and varying water levels. For paddlers seeking alternative public access points in the region, nearby options include launches at Columbia Park and other designated public boat ramps along the river.
