On May 12th, 2022, we received a report from a boater that from Swopes Valley Trailhead boat launch to the Lickdale Trailhead boat launch, the Swatara creek was clear of obstructions, other than the big pile up just below Swopes Valley boat launch, but there is a path through.
Friends Group Members working as DCNR Conservation Volunteers do their best to remove fallen trees as time and conditions permit. If you want to assist with this task, or are aware of a fallen tree obstructing navigation, email dave@swatara.org .
This Advisory Page is intended to make boaters navigating the Swatara Creek through Swatara State Park aware of known obstacles. The number of obstacles and their locations can change on an hourly basis. Information provided herein does not relieve boaters of their responsibility to carefully scout the creek ahead and constantly check for changing conditions.
