About This Access Site
The Carverston Road boat ramp provides access to Frances Slocum Lake, a 165-acre horseshoe-shaped reservoir located within the 1,035-acre Frances Slocum State Park in Wyoming, Luzerne County. This is a developed access point ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to launch on a calm, scenic lake. The ramp is situated on Abrahams Creek where it feeds into the lake, offering paddlers opportunities for recreational boating and fishing on a protected water body.

Frances Slocum Lake is known for its diverse wildlife and bird populations, making it an excellent destination for nature-oriented paddlers. The broader park offers additional amenities and recreation opportunities, including hiking and mountain biking trails, so paddlers can extend their visit with land-based activities. The lake's horseshoe shape provides protected paddling with varied shoreline scenery. For paddlers planning to visit, contact the park or check with local authorities for current access hours, seasonal restrictions, parking availability, and any launch fees.
