The Great Outdoors

Whether it’s spring, summer, fall, or winter, the natural beauty of the Susquehanna River Valley is sure to inspire you to take in the great outdoors. The Susquehanna River Valley is  home to the majestic Susquehanna River. We are also surrounded by state parks, scenic country roads, abundant fishing streams and year-round recreational opportunities.

The region also offers a number of land and water trails. Take some time to explore DCNR's new interactive website, which features more than 5,700 miles of trails throughout the Commonwealth. 

Did you know that PA's State Parks are the best in the country? They are! The 117-state park system recently received the 2009 Gold Medal Award for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management. View an educational video, created by DCNR, here.

There’s truly something here for everyone – whether you like to hike, bike, fish, canoe, golf, watch wildlife, or take a leisurely stroll through a park with friends and family – it’s all right here for you to enjoy!
