Peter Yarnell Park Landing Boat Launch

Peter Yarnell Park Landing offers a canoe and kayak launch on the Schuylkill River with limited gravel parking for 3+ vehicles, a small picnic pavilion, and a small shelter.

Located off Water Street in Shoemakersville, this improved launch site marks the end of the on-road section of the Schuylkill River Trail between Reading and Hamburg, making it a convenient access point for paddling trips on Class 1 river sections.
