North Branch Sojourn
July 31 - August 3
Interested in a multi-day adventure along the Susquehanna River North Branch? Join Endless Mountains Heritage Region for their annual North Branch Sojourn from July 31 through August 3, 2025. This year’s event begins in Owego, N.Y., and will end in Sugar Run, P.A., for a total of over 60 river miles! This event will be jam packed with paddling, entertainment, great food from local businesses, educational programming and more!
Participants are asked to arrive at Riverfront Park in Sayre (100 Riverfront Park Rd, Sayre, PA 18840) by 8 a.m. on July 31 to sign waivers and check in. Paddlers coming from afar also have the option of arriving the evening of July 30 to camp overnight at the park. Following a safety briefing, we’ll launch on the river to begin the multi-day sojourn.
Not able to join us for the full four-days? No problem! You can select the days that best work for your schedule and kayak/canoe rental arrangements can be made through registration. There are also nearby lodging options for those who do not wish to camp. Participants will drive their vehicles to the next campsite each morning to ensure their vehicle is waiting for them when we get off the water at the end of each day’s trip. We have single-day, two-day, and full four-day packages available to better suit your schedule!
