Vote for the North Branch of the Susquehanna River

100% of the water that flows from Susquehanna County's springs, seeps, ponds, lakes, and streams, empty into the Susquehanna River. Our heritage is steeped in the history of this river. This river is in our veins. We now have the opportunity to let everyone know how much this river means to us and in return, additional money will be placed in the hands of the Heritage Region, to educate all ages on the value of the river. Join us as we discuss the river's past and present and find out how you can vote to make the North Branch, the "river of the year".
​
Vote for the North Branch of the Susquehanna River (River of the Year Contest) here.
