MILTON, PA - The new Susquehanna River Valley Outdoor Recreation Guide is now available, inviting local residents and visiting explorers to discover the best of Central Pennsylvania’s outdoor experiences. This visually engaging, magazine-style publication showcases everything that makes the region a premier outdoor destination - from hiking and cycling to fishing and paddling, and from caves and caverns to campgrounds and golf courses. Designed to inspire exploration, the guide also makes it easy for outdoor enthusiasts to plan their next adventure.

Building on the content found in the annual Official Guide to the Susquehanna River Valley, the Outdoor Recreation Guide takes a deeper dive into the area’s diverse recreational offerings. Readers will find answers to questions such as: Which regional waterways are best for paddling? Why is the area becoming a hotspot for off-roading enthusiasts? Where are the best home bases for outdoor adventures in the river valley? These insights and more are featured throughout the guide’s pages.

The Susquehanna River Valley is truly an outdoor lover’s paradise

“Each year, we see more visitors seeking outdoor adventures, and our region offers an ideal mix of scenic beauty, challenging terrain and a wide variety of exceptional outdoor experiences," said Judy Machesic, Interim Director of the Susquehanna River Valley Visitors Bureau (SRVVB).

Machesic noted that the region continues to earn national recognition for its outdoor recreation assets. Penns Creek is celebrated as an award-winning trout stream, while the Susquehanna River itself is a bucket-list destination for anglers nationwide. Faylor Lake has been ranked the #14 disc golf course in the world, and attractions such as the Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area (AOAA) in Coal Township and the unPAved of the Susquehanna River Valley gravel cycling race in Union and Snyder counties draw riders from across the country.

“The Outdoor Recreation Guide is a valuable resource for both visitors and residents,” Machesic added. “Whether you’re an avid adventurer or simply looking to spend more time outdoors, this guide will help point you in the right direction.”
