Susquehanna River

Holtwood is best accessed from McCall's Ferry road (River Right). There is a trail leading down to the river next to the large warning sign (with the Starrk-Moon sticker) under the powerline. Take the Trail to the left. If you plan on staying above the bridge, simply attain or walk back up the the put-in. If you head downstream, you'll want to set a shuttle and take out at the Lock 15 area, reached off of River Rd. (McCall's Ferry Rd downstream of Rt 372.) Park outside of the gate if you're going to take off after sunset.

Unfortunately, several people have had their cars broken into here (some more than once). It's best to leave your valuables at home. Most of the time the theifs steal wallets, cell phones, CD's, and the like, and don't usually go after the smelly boating gear you leave in your car,but to be on the safe side, if you have an extra boat on your car, make sure it's locked up securely and it's best not to leave boats unattended when running or walking shuttle. Consider yourself warned.
