Pennsylvania Water Trails are boat routes suitable for canoes, kayaks, paddleboards and some motorized watercraft. Like conventional trails, water trails are officially designated recreational corridors between specific locations. Water trails are comprised of access points, boat launches, day use sites and, in some cases, overnight camping areas. From riffles to rapids, paddling these aquatic highways can be a great adventure. Information about water trails can be found on the PEC Pennsylvania Water Trails page.
