Tailwater Access

Tailwater Access provides a primitive put-in point below Loyalhanna Dam for paddlers looking to explore the scenic lower section of Loyalhanna Creek.

Access requires a 700-foot walk down a path from the parking area; advance arrangements can be made by calling the Army Corps of Engineers at 724-639-9013 to drive closer.

From here, paddlers can navigate approximately 5 miles of moving water to Saltsburg or continue downstream to the Kiski River.
