The Union Township boat ramp in Glen Lyon provides access to the Susquehanna River in Luzerne County. This ramp serves as a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to paddle or cruise this major Pennsylvania waterway. The Susquehanna River in this section offers a mix of recreational opportunities, though paddlers should be aware of current conditions and water levels before launching.
**Important Note:** The Union Township Access is temporarily closed from October 27-31, 2025, for ramp improvements. During this closure, boaters should use the nearby Hunlock Township Access upstream as an alternative. Once reopened, this access point will be a reliable option for launching on the Susquehanna River in the region.
Before visiting, check current water conditions and any advisories through the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC). Standard Pennsylvania boating regulations apply, and appropriate safety equipment is required for all vessels.
