Please wear comfortable clothing that is okay to get wet. For shoes, we suggest water shoes, old sneakers, or sandals with a strap. You will be getting in and out of the water, so plan on getting your feet wet. Also, please check the weather before you arrive! We highly suggest sun protection (hats, sunglasses, sunscreen). Sunglasses and sunscreen are available for purchase at the shop as well. If it is cloudy or chance of rain, we suggest bringing a rain jacket.

Yes! We encourage you to take a break, eat lunch, swim, and enjoy the beauty around you. But please, NO alcohol, styrofoam, or glass. Soft-pack coolers work best for kayaks. Life in the middle of the river can be very hot in the summer, so we strongly encourage groups to bring water. Susquehanna Outfitters typically has drinks available for purchase.

Mosquitoes live in the vegetation along the bank and are seldom a problem on the water. Most insects on the water, like dragonflies and mayflies, are beautiful and do not bite. (Don’t be a hater). Mosquito bands are available for purchase if you don't believe us!​

We strongly encourage reservations, especially during our busy season. A reservation ensures that we have the boat or board you want available upon your arrival.

Yes! The Susquehanna is a good river to learn how to paddle a canoe or kayak in shallow, slow-moving water. Every trip includes a safety talk, including a brief intro to paddling. The water level on the Susquehanna in this area is typically between 2 and 4 feet. Nervous about paddling for the first time? Sign up to do a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard lesson with an experienced guide!

All paddlers must have a life jacket in their boat at all times required by law and we strongly encourage that you wear it. We provide high-quality, clean, well-fitted life jackets so that you will feel comfortable wearing this essential piece of equipment. Children 12 and under MUST wear a life jacket at all times on the water.

If the water is at normal levels, the minimum age is 5. Summer drought levels are safe for all ages, while higher levels are more challenging. We prefer to have parents/guardians that take children out on the water to be fairly experienced, especially when children are younger in age. ASK OUR STAFF ABOUT CURRENT CONDITIONS. We reserve the right to not put you and your family on the water in dangerous conditions, whether it be for weather, water levels, or skill level. Safety is our main priority!
