Explore the Susquehanna National Heritage Area
As it flows through the heart of our region’s officially designated Pennsylvania Heritage Area in Lancaster and York Counties, the Susquehanna River has long been a corridor of culture, commerce and exploration. As rich in history as it is in breathtaking scenery, spectacular wildlife and soul restoring recreation, the river is a place for experiencing the stories and wonders of America.
We welcome travelers to chart an exciting journey through our Heritage Area by exploring the river’s heritage and outdoor attractions, visiting the Zimmerman Center for Heritage and Columbia Crossing River Trails Center, and tracing the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail by land or water.
