McKeesport boat ramp provides access to the Youghiogheny River near its confluence with the Monongahela River in an industrial area.

The improved access on river-left is developed primarily for motorized watercraft, though an unimproved access point with free on-street parking is available on river-right before the marina for paddlers seeking an alternative.

This location marks the final section of the Youghiogheny River Water Trail, featuring mixed water conditions with slow, shallow spots and occasional swift, choppy water.
