Virginia Forrest Recreation Area hand launch

Virginia Forrest Recreation Area offers a hand-launch canoe access point on the Delaware River with a large parking lot, though the launch features a steep dirt path or stairs down to the water with no gradual shoreline—requiring paddlers to drop boats into knee-to-waist-deep water and jump in.

A Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission launch permit is required for all non-motorized watercraft. This cartop-only access is best suited for experienced paddlers comfortable with challenging entry and exit conditions.
