        Welcome to Susquehanna Outdoor Adventures!

        Plan your kayaking adventure with us today. We are based out of Bloomsburg Pennsylvania. Come visit our beautiful Susquehanna River that flows through the peaceful mountains. Capture breathtaking images of surrounding flora and fauna. We have over 40 acres of privately owned island for camping, fishing and seasonal camp sites. The river has a variety of wildlife: eagles, otters, beavers, deer, turkeys and much, much more to experience. Check out our packages for a fun filled adventure that best fits your fitness level and budget.

        Preparing for a Trip- Clothing

        Since Susquehanna Outdoor Adventures guided trips usually operate rain or shine in late spring, summer, and early fall, it's important to dress for the weather. Shorts and t-shirts or swimsuits are appropriate on warm summer days, but additional layers may be necessary at other times of the year.

        In the cooler spring and fall, avoid wearing cotton garments while paddling, as wet cotton is actually colder than bare skin and does not dry as fast as synthetic fabrics. Rain, wind, or cold temperatures may make rain gear, windbreakers, and layers of wool or polyester fleece desirable.

        Footwear

        For your protection, you must wear some type of shoe or sandal for the entire duration of your trip with us. Your feet and footwear will get wet while you get in and out of your canoe or kayak, so wear footwear that you won't mind getting wet. River sandals, aquasocks or old sneakers are good choices.

        Additional Items

        You may wish to consider bringing some of the following items:

        A beverage of your choice (please, no glass containers)
        • A snack of your choice
        • A brimmed hat, sun block, sunglasses, and a glasses strap
        • Rain and/or wind gear (depending on weather)
        • A change of clothes for after you get off the water
