EMHR’s Small Business Support Hikes: Salt Springs Park
August 15-16, 2026
Pack your bags for Endless Mountains Heritage Region’s second overnight hiking event, at Salt Springs Park in Susquehanna County on Saturday and Sunday, August 15 and 16! This event will host two guided hiking events on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, participants will explore the eastern portion of Salt Springs Park, with about 5 miles of combined trails, with moderate incline and views of waterfalls on the way back to the starting point. Sunday’s hike will explore the western portion of the park, with about 3 ½ miles of combined trails.
Participants should meet at Salt Springs State Park’s main park office, also known as the
historic Wheaton House at 2305 Salt Springs Rd, Montrose, PA 18801 (GPS coordinates: 41.9119, -75.86553), on Saturday by 11 a.m. to sign in. When preparing for this event, hikers should wear appropriate clothing for the weather and footwear (hiking shoes or boots). It is also important to remember a sufficient supply of water for the duration of both days, though a refill station will be available Saturday just in case. Any snacks or lunch desired for refueling on the trail will need to be brought by the participant.
Camping for this event is optional. For those planning to camp, overnight supplies are also needed to camp: a tent, sleeping bag, flashlights, etc. EMHR will provide a detailed packing list for all participants before the event.
EMHR would like to thank our partners for this event, Susquehanna County Historical Society, who will provide an educational presentation with the theme of Native American and early white settler history for Susquehanna County, in honor of America250.
Registration costs for this event will be $15, which will cover the cost of dinner and help
support Anthony’s Restaurant in Montrose, along with a donation to Salt Springs Park,
which is managed completely by the Friends of Salt Springs Park and volunteers. Registration for this weekend hiking event closes by Tuesday, August 11.
