Acri Meadow Park boat launch
Acri Meadow Park
The Acri Meadow Park boat ramp is a concrete boat launch that is open to the public. It is relatively wide, allowing for easy access to the water. The ramp is suitable for launching motorized boats, as well as non-motorized watercraft such as canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards.
The Susquehanna River is a large body of water that flows through several states, including Pennsylvania. It offers a range of recreational activities, including boating, fishing, and swimming. Boaters can explore the river and its numerous islands, sandbars, and scenic shoreline.
According to the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission website, the Susquehanna River is home to a variety of fish species, including catfish, bass, walleye, and muskellunge. Anglers are required to have a valid Pennsylvania fishing license before fishing in the river.
In summary, the Acri Meadow Park boat ramp is a concrete boat launch located in Pennsylvania, serving the Susquehanna River. It is wide enough for motorized and non-motorized watercraft, and the river is home to a variety of fish species.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app
Save Acri Meadow Park as a favorite, set a discharge threshold or a wind/precipitation alert, and the iOS app will push the moment conditions cross.
About Acri Meadow Park
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
