Break out the paddles, prepare your campfire tales, and join the Susquehanna Greenway Partnership for an exciting trip through some lovely and scenic sections of the West Branch of the Susquehanna River during a 5-day educational canoe/kayak trip! Paddle the entire trip, or just a few days… it’s up to you!

Touted by National Geographic as a “Best Adventure Destination for 2012” and recently designated a National Recreation Trail and connecting trail to the Captain John Smith Historic Trail by the National Park Service, the West Branch is a great place for exploration!

The DOC scavenger hunt at the Cornerstone Christian Church Trails was a lot of fun! Participants carried clipboards holding a checklist of various items one would see while hiking. While some things were real; like the birds, butterfly, nests, and leaves, some items were strategically placed for the children to find and check off their list. There was the giant yellow spider on a trail sign, a turtle on a bench, a frog on the ground, a feather in the grass, the big red ladybug, a cobra, and a fish in the creek. We all missed the bat hanging from a tree! It was a fun time for all.

Join us for the July DOC Scavenger Hike at Wildwood Nature Center where all the items on our list will be for real!
