Susquehanna Riverlands State Park Rock Climbing

Susquehanna Riverlands State Park is a traditional climbing crag on cliffs rising over the west bank of the Susquehanna River in York County. It has mostly single and a few multi-pitch routes, ranging from 5.0 to 5.10+ or 5.11-, on Lower Cambrian Quartzite. There are some real nice cragging spots where one can top rope easily. Please lead an easy route to set up said top rope to avoid erosion around the sides of the cliffs. There are also a number of more Adventure style crags that lean to a lead-follow climbing style. Use slings and trad protection to build anchors; do not leave any fixed hardware. Avoid slinging trees. 

Due to the minimal mileage this crag has seen over the decades expect to encounter choss and bring a helmet. Lines clean up with enough traffic, similar to how Chickies, Gunks or Seneca have cleaned up, but they do not get that way right away. 

Also known as Schull's Rock for many years.

Areas 3-9 have been linked by an improved game trail. Look for a rock trail often edged by fallen limbs. In general, try to utilize the rocks and established trails over the erodible soil. It may be a further walk but it is better for long term access. 

Access Fund and DCNR partnered up to build a trail that links the upper ridge trail to the lower carriage road. Bisecting the climbers trail. Utilize this to access climbs if not rappelling. Please do not make your own trail 

DCNR is developing a trail system to some of the overlooks, one can rappel in or build anchors from these. Please do not cut trail.
