A RIVERS NAME Dave Dzurek From it's humble beginnings at Lake Ostego N.Y., a wondrous flow of water ventures into PA.  County after county, to a mile wide at Harrisburg.  She delivers more water than any other river into the Atlantic Ocean via the Chesapeake Bay. No one is quite certain how the name SUSQUEHANNA came to be.  The suffix "hanna" is Algonquin for stream or river. No matter, as the sun rises oe'r her might-blue of sky reflects off the ripples, this majestic river meanders the Heart of the "Folded Appalachians" to the valley floor. Swift rapids, hidden Cave-ins, depths as well as shallows show the rivers beauty and rage, twisting and turning wildly four hundred and forty-eight miles. Great varieties of plants, wildlife aplenty often flocks to her shores for their refuge.  Tributaries in multitudes ebb to make her expanse. Since time-Ice Age, her body was shaped, noticed only by a handful of residents that live by her side, but ALL remember the FURY. May her grandeur never cease it's bounty always supply and those who steward one of Mother Natures Waters show her the respect it deserves.
