Leechburg

The Leechburg Boat Ramp in Riverfront Park offers a dedicated nonmotorized access point on the Kiskiminetas River in Armstrong County. The facility features a packed-gravel launch with an adjacent parking lot, designed specifically for kayaks and canoes. This access point makes it easy to launch small watercraft onto this scenic section of the Allegheny Plateau's river system. Local kayak and canoe rentals are available through Rivers Edge of Leechburg if you don't have your own equipment.

The Kiskiminetas River in this area offers a range of paddling opportunities, with multiple access points along the valley supporting both casual day trips and longer expeditions. The region benefits from several nearby recreation areas, including Loyalhanna Lake and Crooked Creek Lake, which provide additional boating and recreational options if you're exploring the broader watershed. The Kiskiminetas Watershed Association manages this access site as part of ongoing efforts to support public paddling and water-based recreation throughout the region.
