The Susquehanna Sojourn is an annual river journey which draws attention to the importance of the Susquehanna River and its connection to the Chesapeake Bay. The first Patuxent River Sojourn will showcase the natural significance of this important Chesapeake Bay tributary. The final day of the trip will coincide with the Bernie Fowler wade in event at Broomes Island. The Susquehanna River Trail is Pennsylvania's first formal water trail.
Water trails emphasize low-impact use and promote stewardship of the resource.
The Susquehanna River Trail is a 24-mile trail stretching from Halifax to Harrisburg. Additional information on the Susquehanna River Trail can be found on the PA Fish and Boat Commission site . In cooperation with the National Park Service and Chesapeake Bay Program, the Alliance is developing an action agenda that will include recommendations for the development of a comprehensive Chesapeake Bay water trail. Roughly 100 participants learned how water trails package a stewardship ethic, recreational opportunities, and community partnerships. The conference highlighted the success of the Susquehanna River Trail and encouraged the development of more trails in the Bay region.
