Riverfront Park, Harrisburg

- Harrisburg
Riverfront Park follows the Susquehanna River through Harrisburg, creating a long public landscape beside the downtown street network.
Riverside paths and open views make it useful for a short walk or a longer outing along the waterfront.
Choose an entrance and distance using current city information, and check notices for river flooding, events or maintenance. The photograph shows a tree-lined riverfront view with a rail bridge in the distance, not a route onto railway property. Keep to public paths and distinguish ordinary access from areas temporarily occupied by organized events.
