FREEPORT ACCESS AREA TO BE CLOSED AWAITING SUMMERTIME
May 11, 2005
 
The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has closed an Armstrong County boat access area damaged last fall in flooding associated with Hurricane Ivan. The Freeport Access Area in Armstrong County will be not be available for public use until repairs can be made at the site mid-summer.

Shortly after the site was damaged, Freeport Borough crews were able to make temporary repairs to keep the access open on an interim basis. However, the boat launch has further deteriorated recently and is not longer suitable for use. The Commission is projecting that it may begin permanent repairs to the Freeport Access Area sometime in July, when the Commonwealth’s new fiscal year begins. As with any construction work, the actual timeline for the project is weather dependant.

Freeport Access is located along 1st & High Street in the town of Freeport and provides free boating and fishing access to Buffalo Creek.

Boaters and anglers looking for alternative launch sites can visit the “County Guides” section of the PFBC’s web site.
