How does the Susquehanna River define our landscape? We explore the river with Cindy Adams Dunn, Secretary of Pennsylvania’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

Dunn highlights state parks that border or overlook the Susquehanna, provides trail inspiration (both on land and water), and addresses many threats the river currently faces.

It’s a wide-ranging overview of the Susquehanna, what makes it special, how to get started exploring it and how we can protect it.

Welcome to Susquehanna Scout, a podcast exploring the Susquehanna River and the people, places, and issues connected to it across Central Pennsylvania and beyond.

The Susquehanna has shaped our region for centuries. It provides drinking water, powers local economies, supports recreation, and flows through the history and daily lives of the communities along its 444-mile course. Each episode explores how the river influences our environment, our communities, and the future of the Chesapeake Bay.

Hosted by journalist Karen Hendricks and produced by WITF, Susquehanna Scout brings you stories about conservation, history, recreation, and the people working to protect and celebrate one of Pennsylvania's greatest natural resources.
