Middle Susquehanna Region
Running about 54 miles from Sunbury to Harrisburg, the Middle Susquehanna Region of the Susquehanna Greenway stands out for its network of river islands, many of which have public campsites great for breaking up any multi-day paddling adventure.
The Susquehanna River is one of the oldest rivers in the world—older than the Nile—and it shows in this region where the river carves through the Appalachian Mountain Range outside of Harrisburg. The place where the mountain range crosses the river is a designated National Natural Landmark, known as the Susquehanna Gaps. Other iconic landmarks include the Dauphin Narrows Statue of Liberty, the Millersburg-Liverpool Ferry, and the Rockville Bridge, the longest stone masonry arch railroad bridge in the world.
