Super for boaters and history

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/31/07

THis is a beautiful location. Many things to do. It is often used by kayakers/canoers to take-out. The old canal is still visible. It is a well run, big park near the great Susquehanna River.

Friendly and Historical

By Tammy, 10/29/06

We visit the Fort Hunter house and museum every year. They offer year round activites for all ages! From family movies nights to ice cream socials, the Fort Hunter property is a great place to have family/group picnics. They are open year round and my children enjoy the house tour every year! I particuarly am found of the Giant Sycamore trees that have to be some of the largest in the state! The secret garden on the property of the mansion is a nice treat to try and replicate as many of my neighbors have done.
