Susquehanna Riverlands State Park

The 1,044-acre Susquehanna Riverlands State Park lies in York County, along the confluence of Codorus Creek with the beautiful Susquehanna River.
It is nearly six miles northwest of Wrightsville, Pennsylvania.
The park features multiple rock outcrop vistas over the river and nearly a mile of riverfront along the Susquehanna with 1.5 miles along Codorus Creek.
An approximately 2.75-mile-long portion of the Mason-Dixon Trail traverses the park.
This 200-mile-long trail connects the Appalachian Trail at Whiskey Springs in Cumberland County with Chadds Ford along the Brandywine River.The Overlook at Schull’s Rock is one of the featured sites within Susquehanna Riverlands State Park. That rock was locally known as Schull’s Rock (with spelling variants) since 1880; and is a named feature on USGS Topographic Maps since 1936.
Even with an overcast sky, the new Susquehanna Riverlands State Park had a good many visitors earlier this week. A few vehicles were in the East Parking lot, near the entrance off of Furnace Road, and the Central Parking lot contained 14 vehicles; where most visitors followed the Overlook Trail, leading to Schull’s Rock.
The 1908 Topographic Map, updated to 1936, is the first USGS Map, which includes the Schulls Rock annotation. The 2023 Map shows the northeastern section of Susquehanna Riverlands State Park; with dark green for the forested lands and light green for open fields. The RED Area is Private: No Trespassing.
The Central Parking location, within Susquehanna Riverlands State Park, is on the south side of the dirt road in the park; whose entrance is off of Furnace Road. The Overlook Trail, to Schull’s Rock, is north of the parking spot. In the background are open fields in the center of the park, which are framed by trees; prior to the gorge where the Codorus Creek flows into the Susquehanna River. Smoke from Brunner Island Steam Electric Station is at the left side.
This name comes from the landmark Schull’s Rock, which juts out over the valley. The rock was named for farmer Schull, who, in a fit of anger with a recalcitrant mule, backed it off over the edge of the rock.”
