About This Access Site
Yellow Creek State Park offers a concrete boat ramp (20 feet wide) providing convenient access to Yellow Creek Lake, a 720-acre recreational water body in Penn Run, Indiana County, PA. The ramp is ADA accessible and is one of several launch points around the lake, with additional ramps located at the north shore, south shore, and beach/day-use area. Motorized boats up to 20 hp are permitted, making this a suitable launch for both powerboats and non-motorized craft like kayaks and canoes.

Paddlers will find a calm, scenic paddling environment on the 720-acre lake, which is fed by Yellow Creek and Little Yellow Creek. The park also offers hiking and mountain biking trails on both shores if you're looking to combine water activities with other recreation. The lake supports fishing for stocked trout in the tributary streams and bass throughout the lake, so expect some fishing activity. With its accessible facilities and multiple launch points, Yellow Creek Lake is a solid option for recreational paddling and boating in central Pennsylvania.
