Salem Boat Ramp

Salem Access is a primitive, river-left boat ramp located on Loyalhanna Creek in Westmoreland County, managed by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Access the site from US Route 119 South by turning left onto Old William Penn Highway and proceeding about 1 mile to a field entrance at the second 90-degree right elbow.

This cartop access point serves paddlers exploring the moving flatwater section between Mission Road and Latrobe, requiring a minimum flow of 250 cubic feet per second for optimal paddling conditions.
