Paddle Races on the Susquehanna River followed by music and beer festival with food trucks, vendors, games and prizes.

Announcing the 7th Annual Dam Bridge Challenge hosted by Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association on September 20, 2025! This highly anticipated event not only showcases the beauty of our River but also highlights the vital work we are doing to protect it.
This event brings together water enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels with three exciting paddle races: a 10-mile, a 3-mile, and a ¼-mile kids’ race, plus a 1-mile guided recreational paddle for those who want a more leisurely experience. All races will start and finish at Lemon Street Launch.
Stick around for the awards ceremony as we honor our participants and celebrate the power of community coming together to protect clean water.
After the races, the celebration begins! Join us for beer & wine, live music, food, vendors, and fun. Bring your family and friends to enjoy an afternoon of community spirit, laughter, and good times — all for the River!
Bonus Event Alert! Grab your friends and family and enter the Sprint for the Susquehanna Fundraiser. This is a 50/50 split event benefiting LSRA and fun way to have fun and maybe win some extra dough!
The Dam Bridge Challenge is more than just a race — it’s a festival of fun, friendship, and community pride, uniting us in support of the river we all love.
