Oakland Boat Ramp

Oakland Access is a Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission (PFBC) surfaced boat ramp located at river mile 354.

4 on the North Branch Susquehanna River, serving as the primary put-in point for paddlers embarking on the scenic 12-mile Oakland to Hallstead water trail.

The access provides parking and a maintained ramp, though a PA state launch permit is required for unpowered boats.

This location marks the beginning of the Great Bend section, offering access to remote river scenery with wildlife habitat and islands, and is situated near the former Oakland Dam site (now Class I rapids) that was removed in 2023.
