Susquehanna River Water Trail - North Branch

This stretch of the river is characterized by rolling meadows, forests, and crop land, set amidst seemingly endless mountains.  Much of the area is with in the Endless Mountains Heritage Region and it offers abundant outdoor recreation.  Classic Americana still flourishes in small river towns like Susquehanna, Hallstead, Sayre, Athens, Towanda, Wyalusing, Laceyville and Tunkhannock.

The North Branch of the Susquehanna River flows from New York through Pennsylvania to Sunbury where it joins the West Branch and forms the river's main stem - the largest tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. The North Branch Susquehanna River Water Trail was designated a National Recreation Trail of the National Park Service in 2009. The water trail is part of the Pennsylvania Water Trail System coordinated by Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission.
