About This Access Site
Heritage Cove Resort offers a private boat launch providing access to Raystown Lake and the Juniata River's Raystown Branch near Saxton. The facility features a somewhat improved ramp with transient docking available, making it convenient for day-use boaters and paddlers. The resort also offers amenities including a convenience store, café, and playground, which can be helpful for longer outings.
This access point is particularly valuable for paddlers planning trips on the remote Raystown Branch, as the stretch from Everett (river mile 81) downriver to Saxton (mile 39.5) has limited public access points. While some alternative accesses exist in this section, many are primitive or difficult to reach. Boaters should note that shuttle planning is essential for multi-day trips in this remote area. The site can accommodate most recreational boats and kayaks, though conditions and availability may vary seasonally.
