The Susquehanna Valley, located in central Pennsylvania, offers an escape into an exciting rural environment that is full of attractions for the whole family. Discover quaint covered bridges, as there are over two dozen in this region, or take a trip down the Susquehanna River by kayak or raft. At Knoebels Amusement Resort, between Bloomsburg and Shamokin, go for an adrenalin rush on their thrill rides, such as rollercoasters The Twister and The Phoenix, or flutters of excitement on the family and kiddie rides. In Bloomsburg, visit the Children's Museum, with its numerous hands-on exhibits, or take in the annual September Bloomsburg Fair, with its exhibits, concerts and fireworks. Other centers to visit in the area are Berwick, Sunbury and Mount Carmel, one of the first towns in the world to have electric streetlights.
