Water Trail News
FREE WATER TRAIL MAPS AVAILABLE
EMHR cooperated with the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission and Pennsylvania Environmental Council in the development of free map and guides for the North Branch of the Susquehanna River. Treated in four sections, the maps are available on the PFBC website, http://www.fish.state.pa.us/watertrails/trailindex.htm. Scroll down the page to #14 for the four maps for the North Branch.
SUSQUEHANNA RIVER NORTH BRANCH DESIGNATED AS
NATIONAL RECREATION TRAIL
The North Branch of the Susquehanna River is a designated National Recreation Trail, with Endless Mountains Heritage Region and Pennsylvania Environmental Council, serving as partners in management of this trail.
The trail has been accepted into the Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network and is a Recommended Water Trail of the American Canoe Association. This designation of the North Branch provides the key link for enabling the entire length of the main branch of the river in Pennsylvania to be National Recreation Trail. The recognition adds to the water trail initiatives conducted by the Endless Mountains Heritage Region and Pennsylvania Environmental Council, including a comprehensive trail map and guide and orientation and safety signage at public access points along the river.
