Take a step back into history with this unique paddling experience! Located on the Susquehanna River just south of the Safe Harbor Dam is one of the largest concentrations of petroglyphs in the Northeast U.S. Found primarily on two islands named Big Indian Rock and Little Indian Rock, these petroglyphs are thought to be as many as 1,000 years old. The Algonquian people created these rock carvings that can still be enjoyed today, accessible only by kayaks, canoes, or small motorized boats.
This float is on the Susquehanna River, which is vulnerable to windy conditions, so previous paddling experience is recommended. Our canoes seat 2 adults, so individuals will be paired up with another paddler. If you are not comfortable paddling with a stranger, sign up with a buddy! Please wear comfortable clothing and footwear that you don’t mind getting wet or dirty. There are portable toilets, picnic tables, and a playground at the park, so feel free to bring lunch if you want to hang around before or after your paddle!
