Boathouse Park Boat Ramp

Boathouse Park is the final access point on the Middle Swatara Water Trail before the Hershey Dam, located in Derry Township, Dauphin County.

The boat ramp can be challenging to exit from the water, with a long, somewhat maintained portage available on the creek side left. The park offers fishing, boating, and picnicking opportunities with pet-friendly amenities for leashed dogs.
