1880 Park Dr. | Drumore Township
This park has so much to offer. It's the perfect place to spend the day with the whole family. The park is located on a wooded plateau that overlooks the Susquehanna River. There are spectacular overlooks, open fields, mature forests and 11 trails that vary in difficulty and showcase flowers, trees and wildlife. There is also remnants of homesteads and a state record holding beech tree.
The 224 acre park is named for the Susquehannock people who at one time lived in the area. There are 4 overlooks that are part of the park. Hawk Point and Wisslers Run are located within the main park area. Urey Overlook, which is located across the river at Otter Creek Nature Preserve along the Mason Dixon Trail, and the Pinnacle Overlook, located north of the main park, are both considered part of Susquehannock State Park.
