About This Access Site
**Location & Facilities**
Dorsey Park in Peach Bottom, York County offers free public access to the Susquehanna River via a well-maintained concrete boat ramp. The site features seasonal floating docks to accommodate varying water levels, making it convenient for launching kayaks, canoes, and other boats. Free parking is available on-site, and the facility is managed by the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Plant.
**What to Know Before You Go**
All boats must be properly registered and equipped with required safety gear, including life jackets. No launch permit is required at this access point (permits are only needed at three Lancaster County locations: Falmouth, Marietta, and Columbia). The Susquehanna River in this area is a substantial waterway with a long recreational history; check current conditions before paddling, as water levels can fluctuate seasonally. This access point is part of the larger recreational corridor along the Susquehanna, offering good opportunities for paddling, fishing, and boating.
