Corbin's Island Picnic Shelter

Corbin's Island (not really an island) is located along shady banks approximately 1/2 mile below the dam and offers a quiet, less crowded atmosphere than some other public recreation areas.  Nearby access to the cool, flowing waters of the Raystown Branch of the Juniata river makes this shelter a great place to picnic, fish and float the river all in one day.

  • Mature trees tower over Corbin's Island.Open year-round, no winter maintenance
  • Approximately 10 tables
  • 80 person capacity
  • Electrical outlets & lights
  • Double pedestal grill
  • Vault Restroom (pit toilets)
  • No drinking water access
  • Handicap accessible (restroom access limited)
  • Small craft boat launch (learn more here)
  • Additional picnic tables & grills in area

Shallow Water:  The ramp launches into only 2-4 feet of water.  The Raystown Branch remains relatively shallow and accessible only by shallow draft vessels.

Flooding: Corbin's Island area is prone to flooding due to close proximity to Raystown Dam.  A siren alerts visitors to spillway operations and visitors should be prepared for changes in current and water level.  For information regarding spillway outflow, click here.
