On a bit of a whim we decided to head over to Marsh Creek State Park for one afternoon after…read morechurch. It was a nice day, and the weather had been pretty crummy as of late, so we decided to go and rent stand-up paddle boards. When we arrived, the parking lot was quite full, so we had a bit of a hike to get to the front desk. There, we were able to get our rental pretty easily. We headed back to the car to drop some things off, then went back down to get our boards. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the experience was a lot of fun! One downside was that when we got back to land and ended our rental, we got charged more than I expected. My wife had been keeping track of time, but from the time that we left on our boards, but the time probably started counting from when I gave them my license. Hopefully next time I'll have my dry bag and not have to go back to the car.

While Susquehanna has several offerings, see below, this was for their Full Moon Float. www.susquehannaoutfitters.com/special-event-floats The basic setup is, go to the website, find the day/time/activity you want and make a reservation. The necessary waivers get emailed to you and once you sign off on them, you're good to go. Stupid easy. Admittedly, we had a very unique and personal trip. This is because it was just us and the two staff members (more on them later). After making sure you've got your life vest, dry bags and whatever else you need, they load up the kayaks and take you for a short ride to the launch point on the Conodoguinet Creek. www.google.com/maps/place/Wormleysburg,+PA/@40.2555346,-76.9295221,109m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x89c8c175d3bc56d7:0xace8c772e4f02556!8m2!3d40.2628669!4d-76.913863!16s%2Fm%2F020vcch?entry=ttu From there it's a very leisurely float/paddle down the creek to the Susquehanna River. I'm selling it a bit short because the scenery is fantastic the same as the quiet and more than likely you will see a few members of the local wildlife/bird/critter club. Once you get out on the actual river, that's where it gets taken up a notch. We were lucky to get a hell of a sunset and off in the distance a bit of lightening from a far-off storm. The cloud cover from the storm did hide the moon but, eh, that really didn't matter. The sunset more than made up for any missed visuals. Eventually we get to a little, and I do mean little, island under the Forster Street Bridge where we got out, had some provided snacks/drinks and got to watch the lightening in the distance and listen to some of the tremendously bad karaoke from the Harrisburg Beach Club off in the distance. Sadly, before you know it, times up and you're back at the HQ in Wormleysburg. Door to door it was a solid three hours. Now about the two staff members...(the owner Matt and Kelsee) they really helped to make this a hell of an experience. We've got some prior kayaking experience and they basically just let us do us while pointing out any wildlife and overall, it was just a really good hang with great laid-back vibes. If someone is on the fence about doing the Full Moon trip, let the pictures do the talking. You can't do this anywhere and honestly the whole experience would have been equally great during the day. Great scenery + great people = Duh, just do it. At some point, we'll be back.

We paid for the Fort Hunter drop off location for a bachelor party of 11 people on September 1st,…read more2024. Here I give my reasoning why everyone should stay far away from this business. When Susquehanna Outfitters receives business, they do not care about you. They do not care about the experience of their customers. 1) How can they mess up a reservation drop off location? 2) If they cared for their customers, how would they not know that the water on the creek is too shallow to send kayaks? For some reason the driver missed the turn to head toward the requested drop off point at Fort Hunter. This was made apparent by the accompanying vehicle in the convoy from the business location when they honked the horn at our driver as our driver did not make the right turn when we should have to head to the Fort Hunter drop off zone. Looking back seeing the 2nd truck make a right turn while we continued straight. I was skeptical because when we stopped the vehicle it was only a short distance from the business. Also why is this place called Fort Hunter? Where is the Fort? They off loaded us one by one and while doing so, the driver and his partner were whispering amongst themselves. I was thinking this is weird. I ask, "This is Fort Hunter?" mind you, 5 of the 11 kayaks are in the water. The driver answers, "Yup." Again, the two employees whispering amongst themselves. The 11 of us are now in the water on our kayaks, ready for the rapids... the rapids that never came. They dropped us off at the Conodoguinet Creek, NOT Fort Hunter. About 30 minutes into our float, it occurred to us that we were dropped off at the wrong location. What do we do now? We paid for 6 hours. Would you like to know how it went? There was a 2-week dry span of no rain before this weekend's bachelor trip. Let's start there. Not only did they drop us off at the wrong location, but they also did not test run the creek beforehand. The water was so shallow that there were prolonged periods where you could not even paddle... it was so shallow that you COULD NOT paddle! Why would they send 11 people down this creek when you cannot paddle on it?! The number of times that most of us had to get out of the kayak just to drag it over a "rocky" section, which basically just means 2 inches of water because it has not rained in weeks. Why would they send us down here? We paid for Fort Hunter. What did we get? A hell hole. There was nothing we could do about the speed of which we could get out of the creek. We were at mercy to the flow of it. When someone brings a group of 11 people for a reservation, of which everyone had to pay ahead of time in order to reserve a kayak for the 6 hour trip and the business screws up this bad, it is beyond acceptable. *The 2nd truck honked at the driver that missed the right turn. They still unloaded us into the creek when I requested confirmation of the drop off location based on the reservation.* They knowingly did this. How can it be anything but? When Susquehanna Outfitters receives business, they do not care about you. They do not care about the experience of their customers. If they did, how would they not know that the water on the creek is too shallow? How can they mess up a reservation drop off location? What are you paying for? You as a customer are responsible for returning the equipment that is rented safely and without damage, back to the business. That is why you pay $80 a person per kayak for a 6 hour excursion experience. Not a 6 hour roast in the sun and float without the ability to paddle and times of needing to get out to drag the kayak because of shallowness. THE BUSINESS' ONLY RESPONSIBILITY IS DROPPING OFF THE PARTY AT THE CORRECT LOCATION! HOW CAN YOU MESS THAT UP?! It was a horrible experience for everyone involved in the party. Everyone was absolutely fed up with the entire torturous trip and experience we had with Susquehanna Outfitters. Diabolical. Either they knew what they were doing and did it anyway or, they didn't and that is even worse when you put your trust and faith in a business to conduct the bare minimum of care for their customers. When having words with the employee that obviously was not equipped to handle this type of mistake, they offered no recourse. There was no accountability. THEY DID NOT CARE. We, all 11 of us got robbed. And worse, it was a torturous experience that took away 6 hours of our day. The groom was not pleased. I recommend no one give them your business unless you want to be the butt of the joke for their incompetent employees. Rent anywhere else. This business should be out of business. STAY AWAY!

At the peak, you can look out over a bend in the river and see the whole valley. Its really a cool summit. Its something that you need to see as there arent very many places like it in Lancaster county. HIKING: These are some of the poorest marked trails Ive ever been on. It would be pretty easy to get lost but they are well defined trails. They have 2 separate trails that have red marks, if you can find the mark that is, then you can guess at which one your on. They were faded, hidden behind a bush or non existent. And they have no starting point. Some places put up a sign. They could at least clearly mark a tree to show where it starts. Oh and the map! Talk about a doodling! The trails had forks that werent even on it. We just pick one and hoped for the best. The hike itself was nice tho. Anyway.... Id give it 1.5 stars for hiking trail issues. The view is pretty awesome tho. Check it out just for that!
