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 ancient American Indian petroglyphs in the eastern United States. Found primarily on Big Indian Rock and Little Indian Rock, these carvings are thought to be nearly 1,000 years old and can only be accessed by kayak, canoe, or small boat. Carved directly into the river’s hard bedrock, these remarkable images remain one of the most outstanding and accessible examples of Native American rock art in the Northeast.
This paddle begins on the fast-moving Conestoga river and requires upstream paddling on the return trip. Windy conditions are also possible. Intermediate paddling experience is required.
Our canoes seat two adults, so individual participants will be paired with a fellow paddler. If you prefer not to be paired with someone you don’t know, we encourage you to register with a buddy. Participants are also welcome to bring their own boats.
***In the case weather is too severe to paddle; the outing will be cancelled.***
