About This Access Site
The Wrightsville access point, located at Lock 2 near the Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper's office in York County, provides Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission-managed access to the Susquehanna River.

**Important considerations for paddlers:** This stretch of the Susquehanna River can be dangerous, so be aware of current conditions before launching. The river is popular with anglers and duck hunters, so avoid blocking the boat ramp and be prepared to share the water. Plan accordingly and exercise caution, especially if you're unfamiliar with this section of the river. Check local conditions and water levels before your trip to ensure safe paddling.
