The Geologic History of the Susquehanna River
Course | Registration opens 2/1/2027 8:00 AM EDT
The Susquehanna River is considered one of the oldest rivers in the world. Experts have said "that the landscape has developed around the river." Just how old the river is will be disclosed in this course. The river also played a role in the end of the Ice Age some 8,000 years ago and the evidence is still found in the river hills on either side of the river. Did you know the Susquehanna River is the steepest river from Harrisburg to the Chesapeake Bay in the world?
