It’s where the waterway meets the greenway: Think of the Susquehanna River as a continuous connector of parks, trails, and towns across Pennsylvania. That’s the focus of the Susquehanna Greenway Partnership (SGP) and its executive director, Alana Jajko.
Jajko explains the mission behind the SGP and how people can explore the Susquehanna River using the organization’s many resources, including trail maps for both land and water.
Recent SGP projects include helping Williamsport connect and brand several trails, including the Susquehanna River Walk and Timber Trail, into one continuous river trail. The SGP is also working to improve ADA accessibility at river access points along the river.
Jajko also explains how the SGP’s River Towns Program has helped 16 communities along the Susquehanna River tell their stories and achieve River Town designation.

- Wyalusing Rocks, also known as Prayer Rocks, offers breathtaking views high above a bend in the Susquehanna River. Once a key signal point for Native American travelers, it sits at the crossroads of historic paths like the Warriors Path and Wyalusing Path. Today, visitors can enjoy sweeping vistas right from the parking area, explore a short path to a rocky overlook, and learn about the site’s deep cultural and historical roots. Please use caution near the cliffside.
Susquehanna Scout, hosted by journalist Karen Hendricks, is a weekly podcast by WITF that explores the Susquehanna River and its ripple effects across Pennsylvania and beyond.
