Multi-Day Trips
Susquehanna Three Day
Middle SectionOctober 2nd-4th
Join us for an overnighter on the Middle Susquehanna! We will be paddling around 40 miles over the three days while exploring all the “mile wide river” has to offer.. From “half falls” to countless islands we will weave our way through this beautiful piece of central Pennsylvania on one of the oldest rivers in the world.
This is a “self-supported” style trip, meaning we will pack everything we need to take with us in our kayaks for the trip and set up camp on an island for the night. This is a beginner friendly trip, but some kayaking and camping experience is required.

ABILITY
We aim to cover about 40 miles over the course of the three days. We take breaks, stop at points of interest, and socialize along the way. The ability to paddle 12-15 miles a day is required.

Commonly Asked Questions for TIO Overnighters
Is the gear provided by TIO?
Yes, majority of the gear is provided by Take it Outdoors. We however do not provide sleeping bags, and other personal gear like reuseable water bottles, a proper rain jacket, or other sepcialty clothing. Most of our trips are designed so that you simply show up with the needed clothes, hygiene items, and we handle the rest
What if it rains during our trip?
If it rains, we typically make the most of the expereience! Braving the elements and getting through the challenges that mother nature throughs at us is a great expereince in and of itself. We do not cancel trips because of rain or inclimenet weather unless high water levels, drastic tempatures or severe weather effect the safety of our participants.

Every trips packing list is different and we provide particpants with these lists by request or upon signing up for each adventure. Most of our trips are designed so that you simply show up with the needed clothes, hygiene items, and we handle the rest
What’s the tent situation? Am I going to share a tent?
If you sign up for a trip by yourself we assume that you would like to have your own tent, if you sing up with another person we will ask you after signing up what your preference is.
What is primitive camping?
Most of our overnight trips are primitive style camping trips. When we say this, we mean that there is no running water, bathrooms, or showers available. We do however pack in a portable toilet system on most of our trips for bagging out our waste.
What’s the food like?
We try to make the most enjoybale menu possible for our guests when we are out on an overnight adventure. Every trips menu is different and we often survey our guests before each trip to learn some of their preferences to help cater a menu to the whole group. Our canoe trips have rather extensive menus while on our kayaking and backpacking trips we utilize a lot of freeze dried or creative meals to conserve on weight participants have to carry.
What if I have a particular diet?
We do our best to accomodate different dietary needs and restricitions. It’s rather common for people who are plant based, gluten free or people who have allergies to participate on our adventures as long as they are willing to assist us in helping make sure they have what they need. Please reach out with your restrictions before signing up to make sure it’s right for you.
How fit do I need to be?
Each of our trips have different fitness level requirements and each desctiption will include the level of fitness needed for each trip. If you are worried about where you are at or if you have any further questions please reach out to us anytime.
