Numerous families enjoyed a special cruise aboard the Hiawatha Paddleboat on Sept. 10, 2024, for one of the Middle Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association's Floating Classroom sessions.

On the upper level, PA Fish and Boat Commission's southcentral educator Mindy Musser shared a casting game that included a fish identification exercise. 

Meanwhile, Riverkeeper John Zaktansky presented on the lower level about numerous unique species of fish and their adaptations. Among them, the Chesapeake logperch, a species of interest in the lower Susquehanna watershed that has been impacted by pollution and sedimentation issues.
