Lewisburg is a river town, we’re even a "River Town" according to the Susquehanna Greenway Partnership’s criteria, but we aren’t well connected to the river. We're trying to fix that. To that end, we introduced the Lewisburg Public Paddle in 2018. Through this program, people can borrow canoes or kayaks, life vests, and paddles that are stored at Lewisburg Landing (Front St. and St. George St, by the river access road) for short trips to on the river! The boats and paddles will be locked with access only for those subscribed, but the life vests are freely offered on loan - so if you need one, borrow one!
Thanks to generous support from the Charles and Betty Degenstein Foundation, the Lindig Lewisburg Foundation Fund, the First Community Foundation of Pennsylvania, Bucknell University’s Community Engagement Fund, the Community Learning Space, the Sea Tow Foundation, and the Borough, Lewisburg Neighborhoods has been developing Lewisburg Landing as a public amenity and park. In addition to the boats, we've added some basics like signage and seating, and the Green Team tends to the park plantings regularly throughout the warmer months.
