7-Mile Susquehanna River Kayak & Canoe Float Near Harrisburg

Explore the Susquehanna River by single kayak, tandem kayak, canoe, or stand-up paddleboard. You can also bring your own boat for the float.

Itinerary

Want more wildlife, more secluded lush river islands, and more challenging riffles? Our 7-mile float is all that and more. We’ll shuttle you from the Susquehanna Outfitters to historic Fort Hunter, where you can shove off just downstream of the Susquehanna Statue of Liberty in the Dauphin Narrows. You’ll be rewarded with a wildlife experience you’ll never forget… beaver dams, mink, bald eagles, and herons make their homes here, including the largest nesting island for wading birds in Pennsylvania.

Cruise under the longest stone arch railroad bridge in the world and feel the excitement of the swift riffles above and below the bridge. Nothing death-defying, just fun! This trip is rated moderate but still appropriate for ambitious beginners.
