    ​HARRISBURG, Pa. (June 30) – The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission announced today that it has reopened the Howe Township access area in Perry County following an eight-week construction project to make improvements at the site.

    The access area is located north of Harrisburg off of US-322 and PA-34 and provides access to the Juniata River.

    The project included the widening and resurfacing of the entrance roadway and parking area; construction of a new launch ramp for boats, canoes and kayaks; construction of an access ramp and a boarding dock which meet standards for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); and improvements to storm water structures.

    While the access area is open, some tasks are still underway, including the placement of signs in the parking area and site cleanup. As a result, the PFBC is reminding anglers and boaters to be cautious when using the access area.

    Use the PFBC’s interactive county maps to find other nearby access areas.
