The County Commissioners and Planning Commission first envisioned a Riverwalk along the levee system on the West Branch of the Susquehanna, in 2000. It was subsequently included as a goal in the 2002 Susquehanna Greenway Partnership Strategic Vision. Through a unique partnership between the City, County, and SEDA-COG Joint Rail Authority, the Riverwalk became a reality in 2008. Today, it connects the City, South Williamsport Borough, Armstrong Township, Loyalsock Township, and Montoursville Borough and has linkages to residential areas, schools, parks, and downtowns. Several other connectors are either planned or under development. The Riverwalk offers panoramic views of the River, as well as views of nesting locations for Bald Eagles and Peregrine Falcons, and migrating birds. Public art displays and interpretive signage also add to its attractiveness as a scenic place to walk, run, bike, or simply enjoy the outdoors. The Riverwalk contributes not only to creating a healthy community, but also to stimulating the economy. Here’s a link to a nice news article about the Susquehanna Riverwalk Great Places presentation
