Hamburg Canoe Launch

Pennsylvania

About

Hamburg Canoe Launch is a boat launch in Pennsylvania, set along the Bicentennial Walkway about half a mile from the town of Hamburg. It's a put-in for canoes and other small boats, close enough to town that getting there is a short trip. For paddling weather, late spring through early fall is the most comfortable stretch. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Hamburg run highs around 73°F in May and 76°F in September, while July warms to about 85°F. Hikers can pair a paddle with the Ha Ha Trail, about 2.3 miles away, or the Pinnacle Trail and Bonobo Trail, both roughly 2.8 miles off. For more time on the water, the Little Schuylkill River Water Trail lies about 9 miles away.
