Susquehanna River

The Susquehanna River is one of the longest rivers on the east coast. The word "Susquehanna" means "muddy waters," and was named by the Susquehannok Iroquois who settled along its
banks.


Even more than its gift of wildlife and scenery, the river is a source of energy for many. The Conowingo dam acts as an hydroelectric plant that supplies electricity to hundreds of thousands of people.
