Lunch Cruise on the Pride of the Susquehanna

During lunch, my husband took me on a river cruise on the Pride of the Susquehanna paddle wheel riverboat, which is docked in Harrisburg, PA.

The river is very wide. What looks like the other shore is actually City Island. There is just as much water on the other side of the island. City Island is a recreational area with a minor league baseball stadium, miniature golf, carousel, horse drawn carriage rides, batting cages, arcade, playground, food huts, and a concrete swimming beach.

If you turn around you see the skyline of downtown Harrisburg. There is a lovely park that runs along the edge of the river. A sidewalk and steps go down into the water. There is also a sidewalk along the top of the bank. Many of the workers take their lunch break walking along the river.

Here is our state capital building.

We are going under the bridge.

Many small crafts cruise the river and stop on various islands to swim or fish.

The cruise was a great way to spend an hour. They have dinner cruises, too. Maybe we'll come back for one of those.
