Juniata River Water Trail Upper Section

Paddling on the Juniata River

The ability to paddle the Juniata varies throughout the year. Peak water flow occurs between February and May and possibly a few weeks in December. Between July and August, the river may be below desired levels. Of course, mid-summer paddling may well be the most enjoyable if you are able to take advantage of the days following a rainstorm.

In the Mt. Union Area, you can access the Juniata River Water Trail via the Juniata River at: the PFBC Boat Ramp in Mapleton-Depot Park, off of Route 522 in Mt. Union, and PFBC Ramps in Shawmut and Newton-Hamilton.

The Juniata River Water Trail is part of the Main Line Canal Greenway
