About This Access Site
Sutersville Borough Park offers a basic but functional public access point to the Youghiogheny River in southwestern Pennsylvania. The facility features a small parking lot and a mud ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and small boats. This no-frills access point is best suited for paddlers with smaller, easily maneuverable craft who don't mind rustic conditions. The location is convenient for anglers and boaters accessing the lower Youghiogheny in the Appalachian region.
Paddlers should note that facilities are minimal—expect no amenities beyond parking and river access. Those seeking more extensive facilities, including larger parking areas and building structures, may want to consider nearby alternatives like Boston, PA. The Sutersville ramp works well as either a put-in for downstream paddling or a mid-trip access point. The surrounding area offers additional recreation opportunities, including the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area, which showcases the region's industrial and cultural heritage.
