PFBC DEDICATES NEW MUNCY BOAT ACCESS IN MEMORY OF LATE STATE REPRESENTATIVE GARTH EVERETT

Today, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) celebrated the opening of the newly constructed Muncy Boat Access in Muncy Creek Township, Lycoming County.  The access along the West Branch Susquehanna River was dedicated to the memory of the late Representative Garth Everett who died in January of 2023 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Everett served in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for 14 years and advocated for sportsman’s issues in the 84th District and as a member of the Chesapeake Bay Commission.

The former Muncy Access was closed in July 2016 due to unsafe conditions caused by the accumulation of sediment from a nearby creek, which created a sandbar at the old boat launch.  The new boat launch has been constructed safely downstream, with a new access road connected to the existing parking lot.

Representative Everett is credited with securing funds for the project, which cost approximately $356,000.
