Jersey Shore Boat Club

The Jersey Shore Boat Club provides a convenient public boat ramp for accessing the West Branch Susquehanna River in Lycoming County. This location offers essential amenities including restrooms, drinking water, and picnic tables, making it suitable for day trips and longer paddling adventures. The access point is well-positioned for kayakers and canoeists exploring this section of the 228-mile West Branch.

The West Branch Susquehanna is a substantial river offering varied paddling opportunities depending on water levels and conditions. From Jersey Shore, paddlers can explore different segments of the Susquehanna Greenway, a water trail that breaks the entire route into manageable sections with difficulty ratings and estimated paddle times. Before launching, check current conditions and water levels, as these significantly affect safety and paddling experience. The Susquehanna Greenway Partnership provides waterproof maps and free digital versions to help with trip planning.

When using this ramp, be aware of other boat traffic and exercise caution when entering or exiting the water. This is a solid access point for both recreational paddlers and motorboaters seeking to enjoy the river's deeper pools suitable for various water activities.
