For reasons unknown to us, the activity of creating rock art once flourished on the lower reaches of the Susquehanna River.Hundreds of carved images (petroglyphs) depicting birds, animals, humans, the tracks that they make, and other more abstract designs survive among the many rocks that dot the river just below Safe Harbor Dam.
The images offer us a precious glimpse of how the people who came to the river many generations ago saw their world.
