Gravel Lick

Gravel Lick is a historic and popular access point located on a scenic bend of the Wild and Scenic Clarion River. Known for its wide, shallow riffles and deep fishing holes, it is a premier destination for fly anglers targeting the river’s wild brown trout and smallmouth bass. The site features a well-maintained canoe and kayak launch, serving as a critical waypoint for paddlers journeying between Portland Mills and Cooksburg. The surrounding landscape is characterized by steep, hemlock-clad ridges that provide a sense of deep-woods enclosure and timeless river beauty.
