Welcome to the Susquehanna River Paddle Cache Series! This series consists of 30 caches hidden along a 7.5 mile stretch of the Susquehanna River between Milford and Portlandville. All caches in the Susquehanna River (SR) series are paddle cache only and should not be attempted from surrounding private lands. All caches in this series were hidden from a kayak except #28. You should be able to find, retrieve, sign and replace most of these caches from your vessel unless the river is extremely low. Odd number caches have been placed by TeamKimi186. Even number caches have been placed by Monahmat.
River Info: This section of the Susquehanna River is wide, slow moving, flat water. Current is almost none existent and solo paddlers wishing to do an out and back trip should have no problem moving up stream. This section of the Susquehanna is perfect for novice paddlers in kayak, canoe or small john boat. While placing these we moved at a leisurely pace and averaged 3.4mph. Best estimate is this series will take you between 4 and 5 hours to complete if paddling one way from Milford to Portlandville.
Boat Launches: There are three boat launches that service this section of the river. Waypoints for launch sites have been included in cache listings for cache #2 and #30. The Milford boat launch is furthest north and has room for about 12 cars. This launch has a short steep path from parking to the river. The Susquehanna State Forest launch is in the middle of the series and may best serve solo paddlers. The Susquehanna State Forest Launch also serves as a great rest spot. This launch has both a dock and gravel ramp. The Portlandville Launch is furthest south. This launch has parking for about 10 cars and has a handicap launch making entering and exiting the water very easy. If you haven't experienced one of these launches before you should check it out!
