Susquehanna River North Branch
Water Trail
The Endless Mountains Heritage Region, Inc. proudly serves as the official Water Trail Manager for the North Branch Susquehanna River Water Trail, a designated National Recreation Trail of the National Park Service in 2009. Our water trail is part of the Pennsylvania Water Trail System coordinated by Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission. EMHR cooperated in the development of free water trail maps now available at http://www.fish.state.pa.us/watertrails/trailindex.htm. We also serve as the Regional Lead Organization of the Susquehanna Greenway Partnership, an initiative responsible for developing and sustaining the Susquehanna Greenway to connect communities and enrich lives through enhanced recreation, healthy living, economic prosperity and environmental stewardship. We also work in close cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the National Park Service, serving as a Gateway Agency of the Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network.
The North Branch Water Trail Map & Guide is now available - A comprehensive river map and guide for paddlers and river enthusiasts providing for a special experience on the North Branch of the Susquehanna River and the Chesapeake watershed. This valuable guide was co-produced with the Pennsylvania Environmental Council.
The Map & Guide Can Be Purchased for $15.00 from our Approved Vendors
Information about local river-based activities for the North Branch of the Susquehanna River can be obtained from the website of David Buck, our Greenway Coordinator, at www.emo444.com.
Orientation and safety signs keyed to specific panels of the North Branch Water Trail map have been installed at designated river access points to provide information about resources, use of sites and nearby attractions. Host municipalities along the river cooperated with EMHR and Pennsylvania Environmental Council in this project coordinated by our Greenway Coordinator, David Buck. See brochure for details.
