RIVERSIDE RAMBLE / WILKES-BARRE AND HANOVER REACH

This is a four mile stretch of trail on the East side of the Susquehanna, going through the City of Wilkes-Barre and Hanover Township. Between the County Courthouse and Wilkes University the trail will run through Wilkes-Barre’s new riverfront park, currently in construction, then go on-street connection before connecting with the east side Levee trail system in south Wilkes-Barre.
