A trail for everyone…..

 

The Susquehanna Warrior Trail is located in central Pennsylvania’s Susquehanna River Valley.

 

The trail follows the Susquehanna River’s edge. The trail has easy access for wheelchairs, walkers, hikers, and bikers. Constant grade means anyone can enjoy the trail. At 18.5 miles in length, there is enough space for everyone including the casual walker and those that enjoy speed. The trail is located in one of the most peaceful, beautiful places on earth. Safety is built in to the trail’s design. The runs are flat with long views ahead. There are large sycamore tree groves and unique sights like the search cemetery. This is the land that the Susquehanna Indians called home.

 

The trail is changing this valley for the better. Supporters are taking the lead to improve the quality of life and health for our friends and families. We are restoring the natural beauty of the valley. As seen with similar projects in other areas we expect to improve our economic status and attract new businesses. We welcome our visitors.

 

Your part is simple. Just take time to enjoy it. Get out, get motivated, and get on the trail.

 

Keep it clean, while you’re out there on the trail, pick up that can or gum wrapper. We appreciate those that volunteer. Our Project Page may give you an idea or 2 to be a part of this restoration and do something to add to this trail.

 

Tell us if you’ve got an idea or suggestion. We know the value of a suggestion or idea. After all, this entire trail project started with a simple idea.

 

The 5th Annual Susquehanna Warrior Trail 5k Race/Fun Walk is on for Saturday April 7th at 10:15 am.
