Statewide Waterway Access Mini Grant Program  

The Pennsylvania Organization for Watersheds and Rivers (POWR) has announced the new Statewide Waterway Access Mini Grant Program. This program, supported by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, is designed to help meet growing demand for non-motorized boating opportunities. Townships are eligible to apply on a rolling basis.  

Grants of up to $30,000 are available to create new or improve existing access points along the region’s rivers, streams, and waterways. Eligible projects include acquisition, engineering, construction, and rehabilitation projects that benefit and directly support non-motorized recreational boating. A 100% match is required. For more information, visit POWR’s website.
