Sojourn 07 (Credit Canoe Susquehanna)

The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay 2009 River Sojourns are multi-day expeditions down the Patuxent, James and the Susquehanna Rivers. Thank you for paddling with us down the beautiful rivers of the Chesapeake watershed!

Celebrate June Rivers month with us on two 2009 Susquehanna Sojourns. The River is long. The River is diverse. And it is calling you. The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay has partnered with the Susquehanna Greenway Partnership to bring two exciting watershed educational experiences this June.

You choose whether you want to celebrate the Susquehanna River with long paddle days on the North Branch Sojourn, stopping to join the Wyoming Valley River Fest or paddle shorter days exploring natural wonders, Native American Petroglyphs, Tuquan Glen Nature preserve and small river towns on the Lower Susquehanna River.

Whether you choose one, or both--either way--these experiences will inspire you to protect this very special river and her lands.

North Branch Susquehanna Sojourn - June 18 to 23

Additional trip information will be posted at Susquehanna Greenway website. Registration will open in mid May.

Lower Susquehanna Sojourn - June 24 to 28
