Located in Petersburg along the Juniata River, this Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission concrete ramp provides direct access to the lower Juniata in Huntingdon County. The ramp is positioned just below Warrior Ridge Dam, making it an ideal put-in point for paddlers and boaters looking to explore this section of river in the Appalachian Mountains. The concrete ramp facilities make launching kayaks, canoes, and small boats straightforward.
This access point opens up paddling opportunities on the Juniata River, known for its scenic beauty and recreational value. Nearby, you'll find additional recreation options including Raystown Lake—Pennsylvania's largest lake entirely within the state—which offers boating, fishing, camping, hiking, and swimming. Branch Camp is available for overnight stays within 10 miles of the ramp. Before paddling, check current water conditions and dam release schedules, as hydroelectric dams can affect water levels and flow rates throughout the day.
