Franklin boat launch to close for repairs

The boat launch at Third Street in Franklin will temporarily close starting Monday, Oct. 27, so repairs can be made.

The boat launch is expected to remain closed through Friday, Nov. 21.

During this time, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission will be making repairs and constructing a new concrete boat ramp.

While closed, boaters can access the Allegheny River at the Oil City Marina located near the intersection of Wyllis and West Front streets.
