Templeton

The Templeton Boat Ramp provides public access to the Allegheny River via a Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission facility located in Templeton, Armstrong County. The ramp is situated in the Allegheny Plateau region of the Appalachian Mountains, offering paddlers and boaters convenient access to this major river system. The launch is easily located near 1st Street and Allegheny Avenue in town, with dedicated parking available.

This access point is well-suited for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the Allegheny River and its confluence with Whiskey Creek. The area provides a good starting point for both day trips and longer paddle routes along the river. Nearby recreation opportunities include Crooked Creek Lake and Mahoning Creek Lake, both offering additional scenic paddling options with forested hillsides and clean water. The region also features the Armstrong Trail, a rail-to-trail conversion that connects to local attractions and historical sites in Armstrong County.
