Newton Hamilton Boat Ramp

Newton Hamilton Boat Ramp is a Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) concrete ramp located in Newton Hamilton Borough off Ferguson Valley Road, providing access to the Juniata River.

The ramp marks a significant point on the river where paddlers encounter rapids just beyond the access point, making it a notable transition area between calmer upstream sections and more challenging whitewater downstream.

This access point helps fill a 22-mile gap in river access between Granville Township and Newton Hamilton Borough, making it an important stop for both fishing and paddling enthusiasts on the Juniata River Water Trail.
