Locust Lake Boat Launch

**Location & Access:** The Locust Lake Boat Launch is located in Barnesville, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, providing access to the 52-acre Locust Lake. This is an ADA-accessible facility, with dedicated ADA parking spots adjacent to the launch area. However, parking is limited throughout the park, and day-use visitors should plan to park at the main entrance and may need to walk up to half a mile to reach the launch with their gear.

**What to Expect:** Locust Lake offers a calm water environment suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. The modest 52-acre size makes it ideal for paddlers seeking a shorter, more sheltered paddling experience. Before launching, check current Pennsylvania boating regulations, as special rules may apply to this water body. Be aware that passenger drop-offs at the beach are prohibited to maintain safety and reduce vehicle traffic in the park.
