SUMMARY
The Yellow Creek State Park boat ramp is a concrete boat ramp that is 20 feet wide. It services the Yellow Creek Lake, which is a 720-acre lake located in Indiana County, Pennsylvania. The lake is open to all types of boats, including motorized and non-motorized watercraft such as canoes, kayaks, and sailboats.
According to the Yellow Creek State Park website, the boat ramp is open year-round, weather permitting. Boaters are required to have a valid Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission boating registration or a launching permit. Additionally, all boats must have the required safety equipment on board, including personal flotation devices, fire extinguishers, and sound-producing devices.
It's important to note that boating regulations and requirements can change, so it's always best to check the latest information available from the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission or the Yellow Creek State Park website before heading out on the water.
