Susquehanna Greenway Partnership

Susquehanna Greenway Partnership Connecting you to the outdoor recreation opportunities of the Susquehanna Greenway. ๐Ÿ›ถ๐Ÿšฒ๐Ÿฅพ

The Susquehanna Greenway is a planned corridor composed of: conservation areas, trails, parks, river access points, riparian buffers, and pathways linking the Susquehanna River and its West Branch with cities, towns, rural areas, conserved natural lands and forests in Pennsylvania. It will be nearly 500 miles in length, making it Pennsylvaniaโ€™s largest greenway. It will provide a green corridor a

long Pennsylvaniaโ€™s longest river that contributes nearly half of the fresh water entering the Chesapeake Bay. The Susquehanna Greenway is a holistic approach to conserving, restoring and interpreting the natural and cultural heritage of the Susquehanna Valley. It is about engaging and connecting people and communities with each other and their natural environment, providing new opportunities for recreation and alternatives to automotive travel, linking residential areas with schools, libraries, and downtowns. It is about revitalizing river communities that have lost their industrial base, and ultimately it is about creating healthy, sustainable Susquehanna communities.

Itโ€™s National Honey Month! ๐Ÿ’›

A sweet reminder to give a little appreciation to some of natureโ€™s hardest workers: bees!

Bees play a vital role as pollinators, helping flowers, fruits, and countless plants thrive. Every time they buzz from bloom to bloom, theyโ€™re doing important work that supports healthy ecosystemsโ€”and, of course, helps make that delicious honey we all love. ๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒฟ

So this month, letโ€™s raise a spoonful of honey to the bees! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿฏ
..And the next time youโ€™re outside exploring the Susquehanna Greenway, take a moment to notice the pollinators hard at work around you.

Itโ€™s National Hummingbird Day! ๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿฆโœจ

Tiny but mighty, hummingbirds play an important role in our ecosystems as pollinators, helping plants reproduce as they move from flower to flower. And theyโ€™re pretty incredible while theyโ€™re at it!

๐Ÿ’š Fun facts:

โ€ข Hummingbirds can beat their wings dozens of times per second.
โ€ข Theyโ€™re the only birds that can truly fly backward!
โ€ข Their long bills and tongues help them reach nectar deep inside flowers.
โ€ข Despite their tiny size, some species migrate hundreds or even thousands of miles.

The Susquehanna Greenway provides plenty of places for these little pollinators to find food and shelter. Keep an eye out for a flash of green or a blur of wings the next time youโ€™re exploring!

Whereโ€™s your favorite place to gather around a campfire? Ours has to be one of the island campsites along the Middle Susquehanna! ๐Ÿ•๏ธ

Here we are at the shores of Site 74Bโ€”a little oasis on the river in the Harrisburg area. Not a bad spot for a campfire, a few marshmallows, and a night under the stars. โœจ

While we are all familiar with the fabridam, another massive dam once stretched across the Susquehanna River, helping boats, rafts, and arks navigate the river as part of the Pennsylvania Canal system. At one point, more than 150 rafts and arks were counted passing through in just one hour!
