About This Access Site
Located in New Kensington along the Allegheny River, Logan's Ferry Marina offers an asphalt boat ramp at the base of Coxcomb Hill, providing convenient access to this major Pennsylvania waterway. The ramp is suitable for kayaks, canoes, and motorized boats. Paddlers should note that this location is approximately 2 locks upstream from Pittsburgh, so trip planning should account for lock transits if heading downstream.
The Allegheny River at this point is a broad, navigable waterway supporting both recreational paddling and motorized traffic. Before launching, check current water conditions and river flows, as the Allegheny can experience significant seasonal variations. Parking appears to be available at the marina facility. Security has been a noted concern at some times, so consider visiting during daylight hours and taking appropriate precautions with your vehicle.
For detailed information about the Allegheny River, paddling conditions, hazards, and other access points, consult the Allegheny River Paddling Guide, which provides waterproof maps and comprehensive river information. Contact the Port Authority of Pittsburgh or local marina staff for current conditions, any fees, and facility hours before your visit.
