Lake Clarke / Susquehanna

[ezmobee]

Anybody boat on the Lake Clarke stretch of the river? I normally boat and store my boat down at Conowingo but I live in York. I've brought my boat home for the season (new baby coming soon ) and was thinking of taking it out on Lake Clarke one night after work if I get the chance. What do I need to watch out for in this area? How far north can I go before I have to start worrying about hitting rocks? I'd be putting in at the Lock 2 boat access area. I'd rather not find out using the braille method!

Can't help ya either, my knowledge of the Susquehanna is very limited - jet outdrives from the Juniata to the Susque in H-burg. Other than that, I am lost - but congrats on the new addition! New boating buddies are always great!

Re: Lake Clarke / Susquehanna

Despite not getting an answer to my question my dad and I took the boat out on Lake Clarke two Friday’s ago. Baby came on Sunday Anyway, the boat ramp was nice and they had the hazardous areas on the Lancaster side very well marked out with buoys but I still don't know how far up-river we could go. So we didn't go up too far. The wind really kicked up while we were out there and we took quite a pounding. It was an absolutely beautiful day though otherwise and it was still nice to have gotten out and checked out a different boating destination if only for a short ride. Plus it only took me about 20-25 minutes to get down there versus an hour to get to where we normally go. Now I definitely have my hands full with my future boating buddy. I think he has some growing to do before then
