Things To Do
Northwest River Trail
This trail connects from our venue along the river into the town of historic Marietta where there are some fun bars and restaurants.
Susquehanna River
The venue is right along the river. You can kayak but be safe!
Klines Run Disc Golf Course
Scenic views overlooking the river and an 18 hole course.
River Discovery Tour on the Chief Uncas Boat
If you want to enjoy the water and learn a little history, hop aboard the Chief Uncas! Built in 1912 for beer tycoon Adolphus Busch, this electric-powered launch cruised Otsego Lake, the headwaters of the Susquehanna, for over a century. Today the Chief Uncas cruises the Susquehanna 400 miles downstream as the flagship for SNHA’s River Discovery Tours.
Marietta
We love the little town of Marietta for its beautiful old homes, proximity to river (and trail that leads to our venue in Columbia), and great bars and restaurants. We especially love Shanks Tavern, Molly's Courtyard Cafe, McCleary's Public House, River Trail Brewing, and more.
Chickies Rock Overlook Trail
1 mile loop trail with scenic view of the Susquehanna. Estimated 26 minute walk.
White Cliffs of Conoy
Sitting nearly 30 feet above the riverbank, the cliffs offer grand views of the Susquehanna River. They are not a natural occurrence, but are actually composed of the byproduct from a limestone and dolomite quarry that opened in the mid-1800s. Across from the cliffs, on the other side of the train tracks, are the ruins of the limestone factory and remnants of the Billmyer ghost town. Nature has now taken back what was once a thriving company town. 3 miles out and back hike leaving from Koser Park.
Columbia Market House
Historic 1869 market house featuring prepared food and other local vendors. Open Saturdays 7-3.
