About This Access Site
Power Street River Wall in Johnstown offers a convenient access point to the Conemaugh River for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters. Located along the river wall in downtown Johnstown, this site provides direct water access in an urban setting near the heart of the community.

Paddlers should be aware that the Johnstown-to-Seward section of the Conemaugh River includes rapids at Findley Run and is best suited for intermediate to experienced paddlers. Novice canoeists should take precautions on longer paddling sections or consider portaging around rapids. The area has significant historical importance as the site of the 1889 South Fork Dam failure; the nearby Johnstown Flood National Memorial offers context about the region's past. For those interested in exploration beyond paddling, Fisherman's Trail provides short-walk fishing access, and the Tunnelview Historic Site and additional canoe launch are located just a quarter-mile away.
