Pride of the Susquehanna - Riverboat
"Come join us on one of the last remaining paddle-wheel riverboats in America"
The Pride of the Susquehanna Riverboat is an authentic stern-driven paddle wheeler built to beautify and enrich the Hershey/Harrisburg region. Since her construction and launch in 1988, "The Pride" has carried almost a million passengers. The Pride is one of only 7 remaining “authentic” paddle wheel riverboat in the United States. This means that the Pride ONLY uses the paddle wheels for both propulsion and steering.  There are no propellers, rudders or other forms of propulsion or steering. Truly a gem in our modern world! Our Host, Lou Braasch will have some special entertainment onboard just for the USS Forrestal group
