Susquehanna National Heritage Area (SNHA) will offer riverboat tours on Thursdays to Sundays through October. Excursions will embark from the dock at SNHA's Zimmerman Center for Heritage, 1706 Long Level Road, Wrightsville, and travel the Lake Clarke region of the Susquehanna River while tour guides share stories of the river's history and heritage.

River Discovery Tours are a one-hour excursion for 22 passengers. The program explores the scenic Susquehanna River landscape, wildlife, and history through stories of the past and present.

Themed boat tours also offer a one-hour themed excursion for 22 passengers. The tours are available at special times throughout the season and highlight heritage stories not covered in the regular River Discovery Tours. Topics include the Civil War, native peoples, wildlife, and the supernatural.

Sunset Cruises are one-and-a-half-hour sunset tours for 14 passengers. People may learn stories of the river and enjoy scenic views. They may bring their own snacks and beverages.

All tours will be conducted aboard the Chief Uncas electric boat. The vessel was built in 1912 so that Adolphus Busch, co-founder of the American beer company bearing his name, could enjoy cruises at his summer estate on Otsego Lake in Cooperstown, N.Y., the headwaters of the Susquehanna River. SNHA purchased the Chief Uncas in 2021 and transported the boat to Pennsylvania. Donors for the project included Ann Barshinger of Lancaster and Doug Hoke and George and Bambi Long of York. Additional grant support was provided from the National Park Service and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation & Natural Resources' Heritage Areas Program. Brookfield Renewable Energy also contributed.
