Susquehanna River

The Susquehanna River is a major waterway in the northeastern United States, stretching about 464 miles from New York to Maryland. It drains a large part of the region, collecting water from many smaller streams and watersheds. The river plays a key role in local ecosystems, providing habitat for diverse wildlife, and supporting agriculture, industry, and communities along its course. It also feeds into the Chesapeake Bay, influencing its health and water quality. Historically, it was vital for transportation and settlement, and today it remains important for recreation, water supply, and environmental conservation.
