Shikellamy State Park Access provides two distinct areas for water recreation on the Susquehanna River: a Marina Section on Packers Island featuring a boat launch, marina facilities, and paved paths along the river, and an Overlook Section with scenic vistas 360 feet above the river confluence.

The Marina Section offers direct water access with boat launches and parking, making it ideal for paddlers and anglers, while amenities include restrooms, picnic areas, and pavilions at both locations.

Day use is available sunrise to sunset, with the Overlook Section road closed October through April.
