Paddle the Mighty Susquehanna River
As summer ends and the leaves begin to change in color, September is always a nice month for a quiet and peaceful paddle along the Susquehanna River. Just across the river, you’ll find Shank’s Mare Outfitters in Wrightsville. You can rent a canoe or kayak from their full fleet of touring, fishing and whitewater kayaks in addition to the safe and stable sit-on-top kayaks for beginners to paddle the river on their own. Or participate in the Native American Rock Art Paddle Tour (the last one of the season) on September 19, 2015. One of the most unique sites on the Lower Susquehanna are the rocks that contain Native American Art. Learn the story of the Native Americans that populated the river hundreds of years ago as told by expert Paul Nevin. You’ll have the opportunity to explore the rocks, enjoy a picnic lunch and do some very scenic paddling. Tour departs at 10:00 am to 4:00 pm with an experienced guide. Already have your own canoe or kayak; Shank’s Mere can assist you in navigating the river with special tips and maps.
