Lackawaxen Access

The Zane Grey access point is located at the confluence of the Lackawaxen and Delaware Rivers off PA Route 590 in Pike County, and serves as an excellent launching point for paddlers and boaters exploring the Upper Delaware Scenic & Recreational River. The site features a gravel boat ramp suitable for canoes, kayaks, and motorized boats, along with convenient amenities including paved parking for up to 80 vehicles, restrooms, and trash facilities. The parking area is shared with the nearby Zane Grey Museum, where paddlers can obtain a National Park Passport stamp year-round.

Before launching, be aware that Pennsylvania's Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) requires a launch permit for all watercraft at this ramp—including canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and non-motorized boats. The Delaware River at this location is a major waterway (Stream Order 8) with an average flow of approximately 30,140 cubic feet per second and a moderate gradient of 2.7 feet per mile. Expect variable conditions ranging from calm pools to rapids as the river winds through scenic valley terrain. This is an ideal access point for paddlers of varying skill levels looking to explore the diverse scenery and recreational opportunities along this 331-mile river system.
