Susquehanna State Park
Susquehanna State Park, located in the Susquehanna River valley, has a broad range of outdoor leisure activities.

In addition to the regular campsites and cabins, there is a family-friendly campground in Susquehanna State Park. With its restored Rock Run Historic Area, which includes a running gristmill and the Gordon Mansion, Jersey Toll House, and the ruins of the Susquehanna and Tidewater Canal, it’s no surprise that history fans would flock to the area.
