The Pride of the Susquehanna River Boat

Pride of the Susquehanna

The red and white Pride of the Susquehanna Riverboat can always catch your eye as it cruises along Harrisburg’s riverfront. It's one of six remaining authentic paddlewheel vessels in the country and a true treat for its passengers. Launching from City Island, the Pride welcomes you aboard for daily 45-minute sightseeing tours with 360-degree photo ops of the Susquehanna, Harrisburg, its bridges, and the Island! At night you'll find the Pride shining bright, hosting dinner cruises, taking sunset sails, and throwing happy hour parties before moonlight floats down the river. On Saturday mornings, the Pride becomes a floating classroom with the Susquehanna River School, a 75-minute cruise that teaches kids and adults about the ecology and history of the Susquehanna River! No matter how you experience the Pride, there’s nothing like putting your elbows on the railing and watching the water churn as you float around and soak up a great day.

Water Golf

Fun is on par at Water Golf, a beautifully landscaped 18-hole miniature golf course perfect for friendly competition and panoramic views of the sunset over the Susquehanna River. The championship-style green is filled with unique and challenging holes, water hazards, sloping greens, and waterfalls that young and old and novice and experienced golfers can enjoy. The 60-foot walking bridge that connects two scenic bluffs is a perfect spot for a photo op. When you’re finished, have the losing team buy everyone a hand-dipped Turkey Hill Ice Cream cone!

City Island Railroad & Carrousel

All aboard! While City Island is small enough to walk around, hand-in-hand, you can kick back and see it all from the City Island Railroad.

Between the train station and the ballpark, you'll find a beautiful antique Carousel whose painted ponies and quintessential music will transport you back to childhood
