The Susquehanna River Valley lies across central Pennsylvania where the two branches of the Susquehanna River meet. The river begins in New York and is the longest river in the United States that can be navigated noncommercially. It is the ideal waterway for fishing, boating and watching wildlife. Today it is a much-visited valley where people discover historic towns, antique treasures and fresh fruits and vegetables grown by local farmers. If you plan to visit the area, there are boutique-style hotels in the area that will help you truly appreciate the Pennsylvania heritage.
