Handsome Lake Boat Access Campground

Handsome Lake Boat Access Campground is a primitive 20-site campground on the Allegheny Reservoir's east bank accessible only by boat or hiking trail, making it ideal for paddlers and anglers seeking remote solitude.

Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring with vault toilets available, though campers must bring their own water; sites cost $12/night on a first-come, first-served basis with payment via self-pay station or Recreation. gov app.

Access by boat is via Roper Hollow launch directly across the reservoir or Kinzua Wolf Run Marina 5 miles south, while hikers can reach it via a 5. 2-mile trek on the Tracy Ridge and North Country National Scenic trails.
