Water Trails are recreational waterways on lakes, rivers, and streams between specific destinations with access points and day-use and/or camping sites for the boating public. Pennsylvania’s Water Trails are exceptionally suited for low-impact use such as kayaking canoeing, paddling, and floating. PA Water Trails are managed by a specific entity, supported by their local communities, and serve to provide recreational enjoyment and stewardship opportunities.
Pennsylvania’s 29 water trails link outdoor recreation and water conservation efforts. Since 2008, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council , the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources , the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission , and the National Parks Service have worked together to promote and maintain the Pennsylvania Water Trails Program’s network of creeks and rivers.
