Plan your Juniata float trip with us! Buttonwood
Campground offers canoe and kayak rentals and livery service on the
Juniata River … a slow-moving, peaceful body of water that wanders
through the beautiful farmlands, dense woods, rolling ridges, and
small towns of Juniata County. Most trips launch from our new launch
on the river and will be picked up down stream. Other trips begin
upstream and terminate at our launch at Buttonwood. For a true
outdoor adventure, we also now offer primitive camping on the banks
of the Juniata River, where you may still enjoy our many nearby
amenities. Our equipment consists of Old Towne
canoes, kayaks and adjustable personal flotation devices.
