About This Access Site
Webbs Ferry is a well-maintained boat ramp on Allegheny Reservoir in Warren County, providing convenient access to one of Pennsylvania's premier paddling destinations. The two-lane launch features a 130-foot courtesy dock for easy loading and unloading during the summer boating season. The site is situated within Allegheny National Forest, surrounded by dense woodland typical of the region. The access area is open April 1st through December 15th, with a $5 per day self-pay fee for parking and launching.

Beyond the boat ramp, the site offers excellent facilities for anglers and those seeking waterside recreation. A 600-foot paved trail with benches—universally accessible and featuring switchbacks for grade management—leads to a 45-foot fishing pier. This makes Webbs Ferry accessible for visitors of varying mobility levels. The location sits approximately 1 mile south of Willow Bay Recreation Area on the opposite shore, making it a logical base for exploring the larger reservoir system.

Paddlers should note that Allegheny Reservoir is a large, forest-surrounded impoundment created by Kinzua Dam, offering protected paddling conditions suitable for canoes and recreational kayaks. The site's proximity to multiple campgrounds (Pine Grove, Hopewell, and Handsome Lake—all within 10 miles) makes it ideal for multi-day paddling trips or weekend getaways in this scenic Appalachian recreation area.
