The Juniata River is a tributary of the Susquehanna River and is approximately 104 miles in length and provides many recreational opportunities such as fishing, boating and sightseeing. Help make everyone’s next Juniata River experience a little better by pitching in to clean up trash and tires from in and along the river! You’ll be glad you did!
